Very nice! I love the control you get with this method rather than just throwing the preset dodge or burn tool at it. Thanks for a new way of approaching this.

I always used curves to try and control the tones, this is a much better method.

Thnx for the tip! I always burned & dodged by duplicating the image on a top layer and attaching a mask to it. Then I would lighten the bottom image to bring out the detail on the shadows and then painting on the mask with the eraser on the areas I wanted to make transparent on the top image and make the lighter bottom image show through. To then bring out the detail on the highlights, I would first flatten the image, repeat the procedure above, darkening the bottom image and flatten when finished. Needless to say, this is a destructive process that allows for no changes later on.

Hey Colin! I just realized, your method is only good for burn & dodge. If I wanted to change the contrast or color range or filter f/x in certain areas of the image, the 'duplicated image and masked layer' method is the only one I can think of. Do you know of a better, non destructive way, by any chance?
