All right! Here I am still working away inside that file called Merged iterations.tif and…I'm going to show you one more trick where Dodge and Burn are concerned.…Notice if I were to switch back to the Dodge tool and I painted over this…shoulder right here, that each time I scrub back and forth over the shoulder, I…make bigger and bigger modifications.…However, let's say I don't want to do all that scrubbing.…Here's another way to work.…I'll press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on the Mac to undo that change and I'll turn on…this airbrush mode icon up here in the Options bar.…
Now, if I just click and hold over certain areas you can see that I'm…incrementally modifying those areas on the fly, and that gives you a little…better control, because that kind of scrubbing back and forth you can very…easily go too far at a point, where if you are just clicking and holding in a…specific location until you get the results you want and at a point it will…top out, you won't get any more modifications after you hold for say about three seconds.…
