Whitening Teeth

In the world of supermodels and international advertising, portrait retouching is as common as ever. One feature that is regularly amended is the colour of the person's teeth. Most times there's nothing wrong with them, but the pursuit of ultra white glistening teeth has made Photoshop Elements an ideal tool for photographers on a budget, and had given almost everyone the opportunity to have their teeth digitally cleaned and looking perfect. Even though sometimes they look a little too perfect.

Quick Selection Tool

The Quick Selection Tool creates a freeform selection outline around objects with similar colours and shades. In this example I'll use it to select Elvis Presley's Pink Cadillac leaving us with the option of changing pink to blue, or any other colour you fancy. The wonderful thing about this tool is its ease of use, the slightly annoying thing is its not always as quick as you'd imagine - especially if you're looking for quality results. Nonetheless its a great tool to have on your side, and will definitely come to your aid if you use the selection tools regularly.
