Hey, all. This is my first post and I'm not sure if I'm in the right area. The forum labels are nice and vague. Anyway, I'm still learning CS5, but I know one thing I want to do. I want to know how to [u]strengthen[/u] shadows. It's easy to find tutorials to help [u]eliminate[/u] shadows, but I want to do the opposite of that. I want to [u]increase[/u] the shadows on an object or person. I want to be able to give things [u]more[/u] shading, not less. Any ideas? Know any good tutorials for that?

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully no grey areas after reading up on Dodge and Burn
As for a direct tutorial, there are a million and one out there. I use 2 curve adjustment layers and paint with opacity 100%/Flow 1%, You could also use a 50% grey layer set to soft light and paint in white and black. _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade!
