Quick Edit mode: Tool bar

This tool bar shares many common features that are also found in Expert Edit mode, including Zoom, Hand, Quick Selection, Red Eye, Straighten, Type, Spot Healing, Crop, and Move. One that is unique to this tool rack is the curious Whiten Teeth tool.

Whiten Teeth (F): This tool produces a select and brighten effect. If you click and drag across teeth, or anything else that might need a bit of brightening, it selects the area (based on edge contrast) while adding a brightness boost. This isn't a good substitute for regular visits to your dentist.

Tip: The letters in brackets, for example, (Z), denote the keyboard shortcut letter for that tool, or group of tools.
