[QUOTE="Robert Mitchell, post: 103213, member: 11282"] Oh, one more thing, Rick. Of all the various methods to dodge and burn, using the actual Dodge and Burn tools is the least recommended. Too much color shifting that then requires fixing. My preference is using a 50% gray layer with the Soft Light blending mode. I then paint with white to dodge and black to burn. The layer is at full opacity and the opacity and strength is varied with brush opacity. I use a Wacom tablet and I generally find that having brush Flow on 80% and going between brush opacity of 5%, 10% and 20% give me all the control I need. Since these settings and my workflow is something that's completely repeatable, I have Brush presets, Tool presets and Actions that automate and help me select tools and create D&B layers with a single click.
