Thanks, Paul! I think that that's really helpful advice. I'd been kind of coming to the same conclusion but, then, because I was never positive which part I was in (darkening or lightening) it felt like an exercise in ....er, not knowing what I was doing. I was feeling like I was getting nothing with the brush or too much yuck with the brush. It was helpful to watch working with it in his video tut on processing a RAW image - I observed the same thing you've suggested. Very helpful! Thanks!

does it look alright? I couldn't seem to get it to go farther than that. It looks pretty darn good. One way you can tell that it's good is if it isn't 'obvious' that you've changed it, and this looks perfectly natural to me so I'd say you scored on this one.

Katy, one thing to consider, is that if you do you dodging and burning on separate layers, then it is done non-desturctivly as it doesn't harm the pixels of your actual imge. Then, if you really stuff up, you can dlelte the whole layer and try again. There is something else about doing this lurking at the edge of my mind, but I can't quite access it at the moment. Hellish head cold has put my brain (un-exercised today) into pretty much total lockdown.
