    what to do?
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭


    ok, i've spent the last hour and a half on google trying to sort this out and i cant.

    i have a picture i really like - but i need to remove braces and slightly whiten teeth. as i've said, i have googled and i've found a few things, but i just cant seem to follow them. dodge and clone are what i'm getting.

    would anyone be kind enough to give me a step by step (and i really am at a very basic level of CS2) of how to go about removing braces and slightly whitening teeth??????

    - statements like 'use the clone tool' are no good - because i've spent the last hour trying to use it and i cant figure it out......

    make sure you have a new layer
    enlarge the image so the teeth fill the screen
    make the brush bout the same size that u want 2clone over.
    then pick an area that's close matching and target that [Alt+left click] then start cloning.
    make sure the brush yr using in cloning is a soft one usually 0%

    To be honest it all depends entirely on what the teeth are like to begin with. You say you need to slightly whiten them, but how discoloured are they? It will be a reasonably difficult task to clone a multi toned into a multitone and then get it all uniform.

    Any chance you could post the pic and let us know what you are working with?

    I don't know about removing braces but I read in a mag that the dodge tool can be used to whiten teeth and the white part of eyes.. (Correct me if the I'm wrong) :)

    OP for this sort of thing in photoshop you are creating something not just (touching up) basically you are 'faking' the persons smile without braces. If you are starting off with photoshop it feels like lying :D don't worry that passes:o.

    post up a crop of the persons teath an we will have a go

    With braces you're going to have to work carefully with the clone tool but generally I find that lowering the saturation and upping the brightness works well for lightening teeth.

    Removing braces are a nightmare, I tried it once and ended up by giving the young girl her brothers teeth :) no-one mentioned it :)
