Very good - I never thought of it as being something that can help remove the subject from its background. I just tried it on a test image and it works pretty well.

Nice find. One of the places I most often use the dodge and burn is in doing touch-ups on faces. It allows you to play with shadows and light to create slightly different contours if you do it right and… the burn can a real lifesaver on irises/redeye.

That’s a real good article. It explains it so clearly that even I can understand it.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

it's a useful tool but can also be very destructive to the data in an image so like many major corrections should be used with caution.

*nods* always save an unedited copy… you'll probably want to save many copies along the way with these kinds of tools. Sometimes… I forget that most people haven't been using Photoshop long enough to remember when all editing was destructive. LOL.

The best idea is to work with raw files because no raw converter allows changes to the original image.

True Robert, but when you come down to the types of editing this tool is being used for (or any "spot" tool), you've gone beyond the changes that raw editing does. It's entirely possible that someone will come along and correct me, but as far as I know, raw converters only allow global edits.

genrally speaking yes but I think the new generations of RAW tools allow for more specific edits too. I'm lookng into Lightzone and the new PhaseOne Capture Pro 4 at the moment that both offer options like this.

Quite so Cat. I probably didn’t express myself well and I was a little off topic. I was thinking of the people who take jpg’s with their camera then edit those same jpg’s. I shudder every time I come across the practice.
