Like a ray of sunshine streaming in through the clouds,
a little yellow - on furniture, accessories or nature -
brightens the outlook of an entire room or ensemble.
I mean, what bathroom is complete without the lovable yellow rubber ducky?

The Queen of England is even rumored to have one!
And who doesn't want to snuggle up and read a book on this happy chair?
Or enjoy a vase full of tulipy sunshine?
{made that word up. are you impressed yet?}
Or own these stone & pearl studded bangles from India?
Sorry I got a little carried away when googling yellow!
One instance where yellow can be an unwelcome sight
- not to mention poopy diapers, even though I just did,
sorry for the mental image, but it's my reality around here -
is when TEETH are yellowed!
All together now ... "Eeeeewwww!"

In an effort not to embarrass any family members or friends
I've chosen to work on an image of a beautiful celebrity in one of her not-so-fine moments, including the hideously pink lipstick!
1st open the photo you want to work with and
Zoom into the mouth area.
That was simple enough.
Next using your Lasso Tool, loosely select the yellow area.
This does not need to be perfect. Don't stress.
Now we're going to Feather our selection
by right clicking inside the dotted lines.
Feathering allows you to select an image, or a portion of an image,
in this case, yellow teeth,
and soften the edges with a slightly hazy, blending effect, as opposed to a hard edge.
Set your Feather Radius at,
depending on your image, anywhere from 3 - 5 pixels.
Once we've selected and feathered the area
create an Adjustment Layer by clicking on the 1/2 moon
in your Layers Palette and select Hue/Saturation.
Now under the Edit options, select ... take a wild guess ...
YELLOW!
Then drag the Saturation bar clear down to ZERO.
I didn't get a picture of it, but after looking at the finished image
with the saturation set to zero it looked a little unnatural,
so I bumped the yellow saturation up a little to something like 14.
Then select Master under the Edit settings in Hue/Saturation
and pull the Lightness bar up to where it looks good to you.
In this case I kept it around the 20's.
Click OK.
Zoom Out.
Deselect if you must by pressing Ctrl+D
And there you have it. No whitening strips were used and you get a
natural looking whiter smile in just a few seconds.
Now go find some embarrassing images of your family and friends and whiten their smiles for them. Go ahead. I dare ya! They'll thank you for it later. I promise!

you're right. I do want that chair.
:o)
I'm with Jamee! How would you shrink the junk-in-the trunk and make it look natural? C'mon girl. Show your talent! And you can totally use that photo of me standing in the background of the pic of Jaxon and Chloe. I think it's a morning photo before school. Yuck!
Your yellow bangles totally inspired me, btw!
I NEED THAT CHAIR.
Where did you find it? It's probably way too expensive, but I still need it :)
I totally remember you shrinking my fat arm; hhahaha you are so good at editing! Love u, yellow is my new fav color this summer/spring time.
