Step 1: Select the Teeth to Whiten
Open a picture in Adobe Photoshop. Zoom into the area to make the image of the teeth larger. Press the "Quick Mask" button at the bottom of the toolbox, then select the brush icon. Change the paint color to black and fill-in the teeth to select the area for whitening. If needed, press 'X' on your keyboard to toggle to white and remove any areas where you over painted the teeth onto the lips. Once completed, press the "Quick Mask" button again to highlight the painted area. Press and hold the "Command" button (or "Control" button on a Windows-based system) and press the letter "J' to jump the highlighted teeth to their own layer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAlmlXzAYdc
