Correcting Red-Eye, White Teeth, and Tattoo Placement

Initial Corrections

1. In the same picture that you have corrected before, proceed with further edits.
2. First, let's fix the red-eye. To do this, follow the steps used in the red-eye correction section above.
3. For the correction of white teeth, follow the steps outlined in the teeth whitening section.

Tattoo Insertion

1. Take a picture of a tattoo from the Internet and open it separately in Photoshop.
2. In the tattoo file, make the background layer the base layer by right-clicking the layer and selecting the appropriate option (this step is often implied or done differently depending on the Photoshop version, but we will focus on isolating the tattoo).
3. Select the tattoo using the Magnetic Lasso Tool around its edges.
4. Right-click the selection and choose Layer via Copy. This isolates the tattoo as its own layer for easier manipulation.
5. Change the tool to the Move Tool and drag this new tattoo layer to the file where you have performed the eye and teeth corrections.
