*[[Tooth enamel]], [[Dental caries]]

'''Request:''' Honestly, I am not sure what is the best way to improve this photograph, but a different background and removing the shadow if possible may improve things. Again, I am not sure how feasible it would be to change the background, or what background color would be best. My worry is that too light a color (white) would make it difficult to distinguish the borders of enamel, but I have not seen many images with a dark background. My first intinct would be to suggest a light blue background, but I willingly would defer to a graphist's suggestion. Thanks in advance.

'''Graphist opinion:'''

Line 589:

A transparent background should probably be the best. Even if we generally think of theeth as white they aren't often really white, and this one isn't for sure. I don't think a white background should cause any problems in this case. However, a near-black background is probably advisable if the request is to make that thooth look white.

:Like I said, I am ''very'' open to suggestions since this is not my area of expertise. I know most teeth are not truly white, but my worry (which may be unfounded) was that the top edges of enamel may be too translucent for a white background. Nonetheless, I am glad you do not think that is the case, and any magic you all can do on this picture would be much appreciated!!!! - [[User:Dozenist|Dozenist]] [[User talk:Dozenist|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen"; font-size="1:x-small;">[[User talk:Dozenist|talk]]</fontspan>]] 20:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

::I had a go at it with a transparent BG (BTW, not that easy with that magenta BG, throwing a pink cast over every shiny edge...). [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] 21:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

:::It looks great! Much, much better than the original picture. Thanks a ton..... and, I promise not to take any future photographs with a pink background. Trust me, it was a long time ago and pink wax was the closest thing I could find that would would contrast the tooth. Your hard work is much appreciated. - [[User:Dozenist|Dozenist]] [[User talk:Dozenist|<fontspan colorstyle="color:darkgreen"; font-size="1:x-small;">[[User talk:Dozenist|talk]]</fontspan>]] 23:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
