Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

11. Deepen the sky. Just for fun, press the
    0 (zero) key to take the Exposure up to
    100 percent. Take the brush diameter
    up to 600 pixels. And then paint over
    the entire sky. Twice. You could never
    have done anything so bold before the
    improvements made in Photoshop CS4,
    but now you can burn with impunity.
    Figure 4-10 shows the result.


12. Brush away any mistakes. After
    you’ve toasted any and all desired
    details with the burn tool, you may
    want to temper the results with the
    history brush. Here’s what I recom-
    mend you do:

• In the History panel, click in front
  of the Dodged Image state to set it
  as the source of the history brush
  edits.


• Click the history brush in the tool-
  box (see Figure 4-11) or press the
  Y key.


• Press 5 to reduce the Opacity value
  in the options bar to 50 percent.


• Increase the brush diameter to
  200 pixels.


• Paint separate strokes over both
  shoulders, which got partially in-
  corporated into the darkening of
  the sky.


• Paint one long stroke on the left
  side of the face (her right) from
  the chin to the forehead.

13. Create another snapshot. Having ar-
    rived successfully at another juncture
    in the editing process, press Alt (or Op-
    tion) and click the icon at the bottom
    of the History panel. In the dialog box,
    name this snapshot “Burned Image”
    and click OK, as in Figure 4-11.
