The problem with the dodge and burn tools is that they distort the underlying colors. This technique does not do that
Fabulous!
Thanks for sharing a technique that, as Matt stated, I shall be “conjuring up again and again.”

What are the odds? After I studied this excellent tutorial, I was browsing the web, looking at some photo galleries. I did a double take when I saw this: http://harrington.zenfolio.com/nh-photo-for-sale/h27e9a5a9#h27e9a5a9 . With millions of photos on the Internet, what are the odds of randomly coming across virtually the same scene the same day? BTW, my last name is Farrington.

This did not go well for me. When I “painted” over the waterfall with a 50 pixel soft, round brush, the pixels were blurred and distorted and there was no “path” in the gray new layer. I tried different brushes with the same unattractive result. The “burn” technique worked no better.
What did I do wrong?

WoW. For me this just covered the price of subscription. Using things I learned in this one tutorial I can make better selections, make them faster, and paint in more subtle details than ever. I wish I subscribed years ago.

Hope, I am a complete novice and I got the tutorial to work. I first used the 17 pix brush then the 21. I replicated the after picture. You might want to try a smaller brush.
