STEP TWO: We’re going to brighten the whites of the eyes here because I think they’re a little dark (probably because her bangs block the light a bit). This adds a red tint to the eyes (that’s the red-tint overlay mask you see again).
In the Person Mask Options panel, turn on the Eye Sclera (the whites of the eyes) checkbox (as shown here), then click the Create Mask button. Click on the Person thumbnail of your subject. STEP ONE: Go to the top of the Masks panel, click on Create New Mask, and from the pop-up menu, choose Select People. Okay, up for one more? Let’s go! RETOUCHING THE WHITES OF THE EYES Here’s another before/after (you can get a before/after by pressing the Y key on your keyboard), showing just the hair changes we did. Next, let’s bring out the highlights in her hair by dragging the Whites slider to the right (here, I dragged it over to 75.) If you don’t think that’s enough, you can drag the Highlights slider over to the right, as well: your call. STEP THREE: Let’s darken our subject’s hair by dragging the Exposure slider to the left (here, I dragged it to –1.08, so a little more than a stop darker). I know, the red hair looks pretty good, but that’s just the red-tint overlay we’re going in a different direction. Now, click the Create Mask button at the bottom of the panel to select your subject’s hair (as seen here). STEP TWO: In the People section, click on the circular thumbnail of your subject to bring up the Person Mask Options again, but this time, turn on the Hair check- box. STEP ONE: Go to the top of the Masks panel, click on Create New Mask, and from the pop-up menu, choose Select People (as shown above). That was super easy, right? Okay, let’s try another retouch.
STEP THREE: Now, let’s brighten the teeth a bit by going up to the Exposure slider and dragging it to the right (0.79 here), which does the trick. If you desaturate the teeth too much, they’ll turn gray, so don’t go all the way over to the left (here, I dragged it to –62). Drag just far enough to remove the yellow. So, let’s start by removing the yellowing from the teeth by scrolling down in the adjustment sliders to Saturation and drag- ging this slider to the left. STEP TWO: Your subject’s teeth will appear with a red tint when they’re masked but, as soon as you drag a slider, the red tint goes away.

STEP ONE: After clicking on the Masking tool, then clicking on the Person thumbnail in the People section, go ahead and turn on the Teeth checkbox to select only your subject’s teeth (as shown here), and then click the Create Mask button to mask them. Here, take a look: Above: Here’s how the Person Mask Options panel looks when your subject isn’t smiling notice how Teeth isn’t one of the choicesĪbove: Add a smile, and it adds the Teeth masking option The choice of masking teeth only appears in the Person Mask Options panel if your subject is smiling, which makes sense when you think about it. The interesting thing about this one is that Teeth masking is often invisible. This time, we’re going to dig in a little deeper on using these options for a variety of retouches. Last week, we looked at using a skin-smoothing technique and how we could use that to create smoother transitions of tones on our subject’s face, and we got to use some of the new Person Mask Options. It’s our third installment of this new retouching column (well, I’m not sure it’s quite “new” anymore). All the details are on my daily blog today at – hope you’ll check it out (and get the book for nearly 60% off). My all-new book, “Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it” (for flash), is finally here, and my publisher has an absolutely insane one-day sale on it.
Before we get to the article – some quick news.
