			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With retro effects such as lomo, vintage, diana and chrome becoming increasingly popular its probably a good idea to see how you can manipulate your photos in that way. In this tutorial we will follow a handful of easy steps (promise!) to turn a conventional photograph into a lomo piece of&nbsp;art!</p>
<p>We will use a rather plain photograph that will make the end result even more&nbsp;noticeable.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-846" title="lomo 1" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-1-300x195.png" alt="lomo 1" width="300" height="195" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-1.png"></a>Next we will start creating a series of layers that will give us the lomo effect. First layer we will need is an Adjustment layer and more specifically a Curves one. Just click on layers and on the drop down menu follow Adjustment-&gt;Curves as shown&nbsp;below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-847" title="lomo 2" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-2-300x154.png" alt="lomo 2" width="300" height="154" /></a></p>
<p>The Curves layer will bring forward the Curves dialogue window, where you can play around with the colors axes. We will work with the input and the output of the <span class="caps">RGB</span>, the Green and the Blue colors. This will adjust the density of the chosen colors and will start our picture resembling a lomo&nbsp;effect.</p>
<p>On the <span class="caps">RGB</span> and Green we will increase the input and reduce the output and we will do the opposite with the Blue. The images below will give you a good idea of how you want to adjust the axes of the Curves&nbsp;layer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-3.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-849 alignnone" title="lomo 3" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-3-193x300.png" alt="lomo 3" width="193" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-4.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-850 alignnone" title="lomo 4" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-4-189x300.png" alt="lomo 4" width="189" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-5.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-851 alignnone" title="lomo 5" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-5-190x300.png" alt="lomo 5" width="190" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>You can already start noticing the retro-ish impact on your photograph. We will continue our tutorial with another layer. This time we will use a Gradient map layer. The way to do this is the same, Layers and Gradient Map, shown below for your&nbsp;convenience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-6.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-855 alignnone" title="lomo 6" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-6-300x132.png" alt="lomo 6" width="300" height="132" /></a></p>
<p>Once done so, the Gradient Map dialogue box will be brought forward, which is preset in Black and White and which is exactly how we want it to be. Next click on the layers tab and set the lighting mood to Overlay, thats the first drop down menu on top and then lower the opacity, do this to your liking. We will use a 40% opacity in this case but this is more of a rule of thumb&nbsp;case.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-7.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-856 alignnone" title="lomo 7" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-7-300x162.png" alt="lomo 7" width="300" height="162" /></a></p>
<p>If you want to perfect your lomo photo you can give it a tunnel vision effect. For this we will need another layer. This layer needs to have Black as a foreground color which we will then feather to give us the tunnel effect.<br />
To do this create a new layer and having chosen Black then choose Edit and Fill from your top navigation bar.<br />
This will bring up the Fill dialogue box. Hit&nbsp;<span class="caps">OK</span>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-81.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-859 alignnone" title="lomo 8" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-81-300x232.png" alt="lomo 8" width="300" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>Next choose your Rectangular Marquee Tool and draw a Rectangle in your black layer, not too large, it has to big a bit larger than the main object of your&nbsp;picture.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-9.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-863" title="lomo 9" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-9-300x158.png" alt="lomo 9" width="300" height="158" /></a></p>
<p>Once you are done drawing your rectangle, reach for your Feather tool. You will find that if you click: Edit-&gt;Modify-&gt;Feather. This will bring up the Feather tool dialogue box. Next we will set the Radius, this has to be related to the size of your picture, play around with the radius to see what works best for you. We used a radius of 50 pixels. This will black-out the peripheral area of the picture and leave the main object into focus with a black halo effect, which will be the tunnel vision. If this sounds too complex, dont worry, it is not. Just experiment with the radius and once you get it right you will know&nbsp;it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-10.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-865" title="lomo 10" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-10-300x181.png" alt="lomo 10" width="300" height="181" /></a></p>
<p>Hit <span class="caps">OK</span>. If the picture comes up too blackened, simply reduce the Opacity a bit.<br />
The result is an astonishing lomo&nbsp;effect!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-11.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-866" title="lomo 11" src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/lomo-11-300x188.png" alt="lomo 11" width="300" height="188" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are often cases when the image on your photo could use some teeth whitening. To do this you need firstly to zoom in to your model’s teeth and grab the Laso tool from your photoshop&nbsp;toolbar.</p>
<div style="float:left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px 0px 10px 5px; border-style: solid; border-color: White; background-color: white"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2747913559834956";
/* 300x250, PSInst. InArticle */
google_ad_slot = "1150739433";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
// --></script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>
<p>With laso tool selected start drawing the outline of the teeth. Use the shift key to correct the parts of the teeth you have missed and expand the selection. When your selection is ready zoom out and hit ctrl+alt+D, this will open the Feather Selection dialogue box, and choose to feather this by 1 pixel. This way you will avoid the rough edges on your&nbsp;selection.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.photoshopinstructions.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/white-teeth-1-300x225.gif" alt="white-teeth-1" title="white-teeth-1" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-492" /></p>
<p>In order to whiten the teeth select the Curves Adjustment Layer, on the diagram that will open put your pointer in the middle and the input about 135 and the output to 132. So using the laso, then feathering the selection and using the curves adjustment layer is a quick way to whiten the teeth on the models of your&nbsp;images.</p>
