How can I edit teeth in an image in Photoshop? I recently had a tiff portrait photo taken and was wondering if I could whiten my teeth as well as correct an overjet with some software.

Should I invest on a photo printer? So I want to print some photos out of my camera for memories but I don’t know if I should buy a photo printer or just have them printed at a shop. After some research I found those portable photo printers that seem a good investment. Are they worth it? Can you recommend me some for a fair price about $50? submitted by /u/Accurate_Wishbone…

Recreating a lighting setup? Hello redditors, I’m going to try to recreate a lighting setup for a project. It’s a picture by one of my favourite photographers, Nadav Kander (added to the post).

How to Remove Stubborn Sensor Spots? How can I remove these senor spots? After multiple swabs, I still can’t completely remove the residual spots. I have to believe the spots are on the sensor glass as they improved after a few swabs. Perhaps the spots are some oil or other grime?
