- One of the telltale signs
of over retouched images
is radioactively white teeth.
Am I right?
It's terrible to see.
In this section,
I want to teach you how to realistically
remove the yellow from teeth,
and still make them look nice and natural.
The first thing that I want to do is activate
my masking tool again,
but this time we are going to actually start
with the radial gradient and we're going to make
a nice general radial gradient around the teeth.
Okay?
So we'll go ahead and start there.
But again, you know we need to intersect this.
We need to hybrid mask this
so that it only has the yellow underneath it,
and not necessarily the pink gum.
So how can we do that with our mask one here?
We'll select that mask and we're going
to hold down option or alt,
activate the intersect button,
and choose to constrict this mask by color range.
And then again, your eyedropper shows up.
So we want to go ahead and click on our teeth,
and then you can either shift and click
a second color to increase the mask.
Or you can go ahead and just refine the selection
by using the slider over here on the right.
Okay?
So we're going to get a nice selection
of the teeth and I'll go ahead,
and just click so that we have a little bit more
of the teeth active for this selection.
That's good.
Pull it back just a little bit,
and that seems to be good.
If we need to modify this mask a little bit more,
pulling it off the gums,
we can definitely do that at a later stage.
The next thing that I want to do
is actually change the colors,
and the saturation of the teeth.
So the first thing is going to be
to pull the temperature down
away from yellow and closer to blue.
So maybe about negative 27.
Now we're going to slightly increase the exposure
but not very much whatsoever.
Then we're going to change the hue.
Okay?
And we're going to change the hue
so that it's a little bit more pink,
and less yellow.
And then we're going to decrease the saturation
slightly as well.
Negative 15.
So if we look at our before teeth,
and let me go ahead and hit the H key
to hide all of our pinpoints.
Our before and our after on our teeth,
you can see that the effect is coming
over into the gums just a little bit.
So how can we fix that?
Let's go ahead and turn our mask overlay on.
We're going to choose the subtract option
from our mask and using the brush tool.
And we can go ahead,
and come in here and brush out.
Let's make sure our flow is a little bit higher,
and we're going to brush out that blue effect
over the gums 'cuz we don't want that
to be over the gums.
What we are doing is we are just removing
the blue effect
just from the guns a little bit
so that it comes off.
Let's turn our mask overlay off
by hitting O on our keyboard.
There is our after teeth,
and there is our before teeth.
So a very simple easy way to remove
the yellow color
off of the teeth without actually
significantly brightening whatsoever.
Let's not go radioactive on these teeth.
Okay?
Let's just change the color
'cuz that's literally all that needs
to be changed.
