At least, this is what I think it is :D

I have an image candidate for a Christmas Card. This is only a small part of it but, wouldn't you know it, it is in the smile(s). I hope this post is clear enough to show the bluish-green pixels on the teeth.

I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Noise reduction didn't do anything for me (using Neat Image) using a Hue/Sat adjustment layer - selecting the teeth and reducing saturation of the teeth - didn't do a darned thing.

Any ideas?

Could just brush them... Photoshop, not tooth. Replace color even?

Does anyone know what causes this? Is this know as a dead pixel??

what about painting them with white on a separate layer and reduce opacity if needed
It looks to me like to much JPEG compression. Apart from a little reconstruction I don't think there's a magic fix for it.

An Ah Ha Moment, Colin,
Thanks, I didn't think of compression and I'm sure you are correct. I was emailed a dozen shots by DIL asking me to help pick one and then clean up for Christmas Card. When a selection is made, I intended to tell her to send me a better quality image. That's probably going to solve the problem.

I know they were taken with a 10mp camera and, after your comment, I looked at the files. Every one of is 856x1278 and less than 200kb. I have no idea what sort of routine she use for resizing for email but I'll see if I can talk her thru producing something around 2,000 to 3,000kb. That should be small enough for email and good enough for a small size Xmas card size image.

I have tried painting, not real great results yet. Hopefully, a better quality file will solve the problem.

Thanks again,

Rusty

Rusty - have her upload it to http://www.sendspace.com and then send you the link to download. It's free and can handle up to 300MB files. Makes transfering large files a breeze.
Thank you, Jane,

That's pretty slick. I knew sites like that existed but have never tried it (never needed to).

Rusty,
I think the girl has colored Braces on her teeth.
