Oooops, right you are. Too many levels, sloppy labeling, too many teeth
to save as JPEGs - and I screwed up.
Just to make up for it, I went a step further with H/S, selected
Yellows, then clicked on several places in the teeth with the +dropper.
The color range selected changed quite a bit on the rainbow slider. By
customizing to the actual hues involved, I got a more neutral result
than with the generic Yellows selection.
I've replaced the image on the roll-over. The one problem I see with it
now is that pulling all the yellow down toward gray has lowered the
contrast on the teeth, so they are sort of flat. I think I still prefer
the last one for the tonal variety on the teeth.
Also, I've added steps to the H/S process now, so the WB dropper is
certainly faster - and that's where this all started, at least in your
original subject line. :-)
