Gem are you using Photoshop for your PP?

Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

Nope. Using GIMP. I didn't think it would be much different....or is it?

Not sure. Not familiar with GIMP. Do not even know what that is to be honest with you.

Oh. Well, it's similar to Photoshop (obviously not even close to the same capabilities) but it works well for small editing jobs. And most things seem to be similar to how you do it in Photoshop...

Here's my favorite.
Add a new layer to the top of your image. Fill it with 50% gray and change the blending mode of that layer to Overlay. Now use a soft-brush at 13% opacity (set you brush color to black for burning; white for dodging) and go at it.
I like this method because I can create a free form vignette as well as dodge and burn on the same layer...and most of all, if I don't like what I've done I can remove/delete the layer.
