Now we're ready for the last set of tools under Touch Up in the Quick Edit section and we're going to go to the arrow, click on it, and you'll see four controls that drop down. Number one is, of course, Red Eye Removal. We're not going to use it. Just don't touch it. The second one is an Icon of a toothbrush, and you're saying to yourself what could that possibly be for. Well, it is a tool specifically designed to whiten teeth, and it actually does a very good job. This is a tool that only brings out the blue in skies and we'll show you why this is a bad idea, but the worst idea of all is this little gizmo here that is supposed to approximate what happens when in the old days you were using black and white film and you put a red filter over the lens and the resulting image, while in some applications, especially with landscapes was very, very attractive, in this particular case it does a very, very bad job of replicating that effect. So what we're going to do is concentrate our attention here and here and we click on this and we see a set of tools coming up here and I'm going to click the Magnifying Glass; we're going to take this image up to 100 percent magnification, grab the hand, reposition. Now we're going to grab the Quick Selection Tool right here and left-click and then drag and you'll see the marching ants appear in the teeth. Let go and it repositions. Now that's not bad. That's really a very good process of selection. So then what you do is you come up to Color, you back off the Saturation, then you come up to Lighting and only because this is the only control that you have in this section to do this with, you Lighten Shadows, and it will brighten the teeth and you adjust this to taste, come up to Select, Fit Screen, Deselect, and there we have much, much brighter teeth. Now let me show you kind of a little bit of a trick here. This is something that I don't usually go down this road, but I found something that's actually kind of neat. If you want to do a goof on somebody, especially if it's April Fool's Day and you want to mess with somebody's head, Select, let go, let it adjust, and just come up here and hit Auto. Look what it does. It just really makes those teeth look awful. And so, you go over here and you go to deselect, and those teeth are extremely unattractive, and it looks real. It looks really like her teeth are about to fall out. So if you want to goof on somebody, that's not a bad little way, not a bad way to do it. I was kind of surprised that that happened. I could have made a mistake and hit Auto and looked, oh goodness. Somebody had a sense of humor when they put that together. But be that as it may, let's take a look now at this other little useless gizmo, and we'll go to this landscape image. See the blue sky up here? It looks fine to me, but for some reason you might want to click on this and then you just take the paint brush, and let me show you one thing. See the Paint Brush, how big that circle is? You can increase the size, or rather reduce the size of that brush by punching the bracket key on your keyboard. You can increase the size by increasing the right bracket, decrease with the left bracket, increase with the right bracket. So we're going to leave that left size about right there, left-click, hold it down and look what happens. It draws a selection and just puts this gross blue splash of paint over everything that it touches, and it's too much and it's just awful. Just, I've messed with this thing for quite a while and I could never make it work to my satisfaction, so there you have it. For better or worse, that's the Enhance the Blue Sky Tool for, I guess, lack of a better way to put it. But that finishes our Quick Edit section in the Edit Suite in Photoshop Elements 7. Let's move now to the Full Edit Suite and this is where we separate the boys from the men.
