how do I use the burn tool??

I have a picture that is a little light in one area and I want to burn that in so it is darker. I know that I use the burn tool but I cannot figure out how it is used. I searched through the help menu but could find nothing. Could some one walk me through this??

Thanks,
Senna

The burn tool act as a brush, in other wors you simply have to paint over the aera you wish to darken...

The exposure value will affact how dark an aera will become, if you srt lower it will required more stokr..but you will gain in control...

The dodge toll work in the same... to ligthen the image,

you should make a copy of your orginal layer, just in case you screw up...

..and note, that if the part of the image is very light and colorless, use the "range > highlights". ..play around with those attributes to see what does what differently too, the difference is pretty big in some cases.

Is there a way to burn an entire image?

Delisk...

If you're going to attempt to provide instructions to somebody, either slow the fusk down with your typing and then check your spelling before you post, or don't fscking try at all.

Yes I realise you're a Canadian Frog, but if you're going to spend so much of your life communicating in English, quit butchering the fscking language.

I'm only telling you this for your own good, because your posts make you sound like a brain-dead arsehole.

boobar, you can burn an entire image when you duplicate your layer and put the blend mode of the top one to color burn.

Utopian, I rather feel it is the message and not the spelling that should come across - whilst we all agree that proper spelling is prefered I would rather comprehend the message than pick over spelling. If you know what he is saying it is churlish (look it up ;)) to pull him up over his spelling.

If the percieved great intellectuals and thinkers of our time were refused to be published due to their grammatical mistakes or spelling errors, would their contributions be any less worthy?

I know his frustrations. We've been through lots of members here posting like h4x0rs and what not. We even had to ban one of them because it just kills the usability of this forum.

Just my 2 cents.

Hermit..SweetieBaby...I said what I said because Delisk is just that close to posting fully realised, clear and helpful info. It's obvious that he's intimately familiar with a sizeable chunk of English...but he's being either lazy or careless. If he's lazy and careless with his typing—not getting the small stuff correct—how can anyone be confident that the larger concepts he tries to explain are correct? I've seen him come back and correct a few of his completely hosed postings, so I know that he's capable of being lucid.

And Hermit...CutieBonoboHoneyMonkey...you don't EVEN want to get into a dictionary game with me. I was running with Hell's Angels and College Professors while you were still suckling your sweet mama's teat, and I've likely forgotten more than you presently think are the grand, wide bounds of your universe. If you're feeling froggy—intellectually—go ahead and leap. If you're in for a lightning bug, you're in for the full furlong-square lily pond. I don't threaten with the physical in this medium of communication, because that's plain stupid and sophomoric. I save my 6', 210lbs for giving yellow water swirlies to arsewipes who try beat up their girlfriends while they're under my watch. You can think of me as a bigger, badder, more intense version of Andy Sipowitz—if that helps you get a good visual—with an analytical noggin like Arthur C. Clarke.

Delisk could be a nice asset to the flow of info here...but he seriously needs to wake up and assemble his sh¡te. And I'm not the only one to have pointed this out to him...repeatedly.

Service in bounds...ball's in your court.


Ahhh...just thought I'd share with you the picture my mama has hanging above her fireplace.

Ok, but this conversation is not helping the one in need. I guess the topic was on how to use the burn tool.......Or to darken an area of an image.....
