This was one of the more impressive tips we got Sunday...

A nice way to dodge and burn: create a new layer by going to Layer New Layer. In the resulting dialog box choose a blend mode of Overlay and check fill with 50% gray. Choose a soft brush tool, opacity about 20% (in Brush Options tool bar at top), blend mode normal. Foreground color black will allow you to burn (darken), foreground color white lets you dodge (lighten). Foreground/Background color is set at the bottom of the Tool palette.

Nice one, I have seen something similar but this seems an easier way of doing it. Not wanting to steal your thread: I attended a digital workshop at the Edinburgh photographic society, which was led by Barry Beckham,( see link) a PS wiz. His marketing catch phrase being "Blend it like Beckham" if you know any thing about British football (soccer) this is rather a clever take on Bend it like Beckham , David Beckham being the footie wiz, and known for his ball bending skill (keep it clean Tedz) and touted "Bend it like Beckham. Enough said I think

The Truth is Out There

Thank you for sharing this tip :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
