[QUOTE="TonyD315, post: 346225, member: 19804"] It's an old darkroom term than meant you let certain parts of the print be exposed to the light a little longer so the light [I]burned in[/I] the exposed part of the image. In Photoshop (and Elements) there are Burn (the hand) and Dodge tools that do the digital equivalent. I find these to be easier to use when I just want to lighten or darken a particular part of a photo, rather than building layer masks. The brush tool in LR can be used the same way, but it's a little more cumbersome. If you look at my image, the sky and brick building over his left shoulder are darker than in yours.[/QUOTE] I took what you said and went back to Lightroom to work on his face. I used the adjustment brush to select his face and then increase the exposure a tad and also the saturation little. I don't think it's perfect, but I think I'm on the right track...
