The Tool Options area contains three little brush icons. Click the top icon to create a
new selection, click the middle one and then drag to add to the existing selection, or
click the bottom one and then drag over an area you want to remove from the existing
selection. (You don't
have
to use the Tool Options settings: You can just drag to ex-

.
You can back up by clicking the Undo button or pressing Ctrl+Z/
⌘

changes step by step. Just keep going to eliminate the whitening completely if you

NOTE
Quick Edit's Whiten Teeth and Type tools create a layered file (see
Chapter 6
). If you un-
derstand layers, you can go back to Expert mode and make changes after you use these
tools to do things like adjust the opacity or blend mode of the new layer. You can always
discard your changes by discarding the layer they're on. And for the Whiten Teeth tool,
you can even edit the area affected by the changes by editing the layer mask it creates
(
Editing a Layer Mask
)
or using the Smart Brush tool (
Correcting Part of an Image
)
in
Expert mode.
