Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use the Brightness/Contrast sliders to get dark, complete blacks and vivid whites. Increase an image's Saturation to make the colors more vibrant and eye-popping. Edit the picture's hue if the whole thing is tinted the wrong color. Use the "Shadows/Highlights" settings to remove any overly bright areas and weaken dark shadows. Use the Sharpen filter to help combat semi-blurry or out of focus shots. Consider shrinking very blurry or lower-quality images to minimize the problem.

Answer: No matter what picture you're editing, the difference between your darkest areas and your lightest areas (called Contrast) should be distinct. This leads to more compelling photos. Your goal is a well-lit picture with deep, dark blacks and bright, well-defined whites. Use the brightness to make sure the picture is still clear as well. Click "Image" "Adjustments" "Brightness/Contrast..." Make sure "Preview" is checked so you can see how the image changes as you move the slider. Almost all images can benefit from 10-15 points of higher contrast, at the least. Going too far can make the picture look like something out of Willy Wonka, but saturation is a necessary adjustment in almost every shot, especially with a lower-cost camera. Click "Image" "Adjustments" "Hue/Saturation." Increase saturation by 5-10 points, adding a few points at a time until you hit your desired level. Slide the saturation bar all the way to the left to put the picture in black and white. This can happen under some indoor lights, which can make the whole shot look yellow or green. Hue settings, found along with Saturation, let you change the overall color palate of the picture for strange, artsy effects or to correct these all-over color issues. Click "Image" "Adjustments" "Hue/Saturation." Even small changes to Hue can make dramatic effects, so work slowly. The most common use of this is when the sun forms a big, unsightly bloom of white light in the corner of the picture, washing out part of the actual photo. Alternatively, it helps when a shadow obscures half of someone's face. Shadow/HIghlights targets the lightest and darkest parts of a shot directly while leaving the other areas intact: Click "Image" "Adjustments" "Shadows/Highlights." Lower the Shadow slider to make the dark areas lighter. Raise the Highlight slider to darken up any bright areas. This filter is not god, and can't fix seriously blurry photos. But it can make a serious difference for slightly "soft" shots, bringing back some clarity and definition in the photo's lines. To use it: Click "Filter" from the top Menu. Under "Sharpen...", choose "Sharpen" for a minor adjustment, and "Smart Sharpen" for a more detailed effect. Under "Smart Sharpen," use "Amount" to choose how severely you'll sharpen sharpen, "radius" to make more precise lines, and "Reduce Noise" to smooth out any over-sharpened areas. The bigger the image, the more apparent the blemishes and issues. Shrinking the image will provide some clarity, as the pixels are more compact and our eyes do a better job filling over blurry or grainy areas. To shrink an image: Click "Image" "Image Size." Choose whether or not to change the size in inches, pixels, or even as a percentage of the original. Make sure the chain icon is on -- this keeps the proportions of your new image the same instead of shrinking it unevenly. Cut 25% or so of the image, shrinking more if needed.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Brush your teeth two to three times per day. Remember to floss daily. Ensure that your diet is varied and rich in vitamin C, calcium and folic acid. Never gargle with vinegar or lemon juice. Get enough sleep and avoid stress. Eliminate tobacco. Visit your dentist for a teeth cleaning and examination.

Answer: Brushing your teeth removes plaque from your mouth, which helps fight against gum disease and tooth decay. In fact, nearly all oral health problems can be prevented with consistent and thorough dental hygiene. You should brush your teeth at least once in the morning and once in the evening, and after meals if possible. If you are unsure about the correct brushing technique, you should ask your dentist for a quick lesson during your next check-up, they will be happy to oblige. Flossing removes the built-up plaque and bacteria from the crevices between teeth, and removing this build-up may prevent your gums from swelling in the first place. Floss gently, to avoid irritating delicate gum tissue. Always use a clean section of floss when you switch teeth, to prevent spreading bacteria from one part of the mouth to another. If you find dental floss awkward to use, look for a packet of dental picks at the drugstore these are small wooden or plastic sticks which can be inserted between the teeth to achieve the same effects as flossing. Poor nutrition can lead to gum inflammation (among other issues). In particular, it is important that you get enough vitamin C, calcium and folic acid in your diet. This is due to the fact that vitamin C and folic acid actively contribute to healthy gums and prevent gingivitis, while it has been proven that people who are deficient in calcium are much more likely to develop gum diseases. Take a daily multi-vitamin, and eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. The top food sources of vitamin C include papaya, bell peppers, strawberries, broccoli, pineapple, Brussels sprouts, kiwifruits, oranges, cantaloupe and kale. The best sources of calcium include dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt, along with sardines, tofu, salmon, soy milk, cereals and collard greens. Foods with high levels of Folic acid include dark, leafy greens, broccoli, asparagus, peas, beans, lentils, celery, avocado and citrus fruits. As acids, vinegar and lemon juice can erode the enamel, which is essential to protect teeth. Rinse your mouth with water. Exhaustion may lead to puffiness across your face and in your gums, so try to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. You should also avoid stress as much as possible, as stress causes the body to release a chemical known as cortisol, which has been linked with inflammation of the gums and other parts of the body. You can reduce stress by exercising regularly. Exercise releases happy hormones which are guaranteed to put you in a good mood. In addition, exercise will tire you out, helping you to get a better sleep at night. It's win-win! You can also reduce stress and promote relaxation by taking some personal time each day to go for a walk, read a book, or take a bath. You should also avoid over-stimulating yourself before bed, so turn off the television and computer at least an hour before bed. As mentioned before, tobacco can be very irritating on gums and people who smoke or use other tobacco products are at increased risk of developing gum disease. If possible, you should try to quit smoking, or at the very least cut back on your tobacco use. Swollen gums are often the manifestation of a more severe dental problem like periodontitis caused by plaque, germs and tooth decay, so if your gums are consistently swollen, you should make an appointment with the dentist. Your dentist will be able to tell exactly what's going on in your mouth and recommend the appropriate treatment. Even if your teeth and gums seem completely healthy, it is good practice to make an appointment with your dentist or dental hygienist at least twice a year.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with neatly brushed, dry or damp hair. Split the section into 3 equal strands.

Answer:
You can do a Dutch braid on dry or damp hair, but it needs to be brushed and free of any knots or tangles. If you have any flyaways, lightly mist them with water or tame them with a smoothing product like a serum or pomade. Braiding on wet hair is a great way make your hair curly without using heat. You will have to let your hair dry completely before taking the braid out, however. Hold the right strand in your right hand, and the other 2 in your left hand. Let the middle strand drape over your middle finger, and hold the left strand against your palm with your pinkie. This will keep them separate. You will be starting your braid from the right side. If starting from the left is more comfortable for you, simply reverse everything.
