In this exercise we'll selectively edit our second pass calculation, and in…doing so, we'll end up with an effect like this one here.…And you can see that the mask will be much darker which is perfectly fine…because all we're interested in doing is filling in those details toward the…bottom of the image that are missing in our first pass mask.…So I'll go ahead and switch over to my image in progress, it's called…Second-pass calculation.psd and it's found inside the 04_tough folder.…Then I want to protect my second-pass calculations, so I'll make a duplicate by…dragging it and dropping it on to the little page icon, and let's go ahead and…name this guy 2nd pass.…
Switch over to the Burn tool and assuming that it's a last toning tool you used,…you can get to it by pressing the 'O' key and then press the '0' key in order to…increase the Exposure value to 100%.…And now I'm going to increase the size of my brush and paint down over here on…the right-hand side of the image, go ahead and zoom in closer to the collar…
