And now for the tech tips I've gained this month - many thanks to Katy @grammyn for introducing me to the Dodge and Burn edits to help with my lighting issues. Even though my example (top is no edit, bottom is with edit) is subtle, I really like the difference. I'll continue to use these edits in all my photos. Now bring on the color, March!

Cool comparison. I can certainly see the difference. Nice job on the edit.

[Jane Anderson]

I've no idea what dodge and burn are. I've seen them as options, but I don't know what they are nor how to use them.

Can really tell the difference but just like Jane I don't know how to use them may have to do homework

Aww! Thanks Lin! I am glad to have been able to help. It does make a difference. Good for you for giving it a go!!

[Lin]

@kategoring Thanks so much!

@cejaanderson @deb60 I didn't know either, until Katy suggested it. They can be used to lighten or darken parts of your photo. Since I have trouble getting the lighting right with my point and shoot, it's a great edit tool for me! Thanks for dropping by!

[Lin]

@grammyn Thanks again, Katy. I know I'll use it many times in the future!
