Step Two:
Get the Dodge tool
(O)
from the Tool-
box (as shown here), and begin painting
over the area you want to lighten (in our
case, we'll start by painting over the gon-
dola on the left—you can see the brush
cursor near the front of it here). Keep
holding the mouse button down as you
paint, because the Dodge and Burn tools
have a build-up effect—each time you
release the mouse button and start paint-
ing again, the amount of Dodge (or Burn)
builds up.
Step Three:
Release the mouse button, and paint over
that same gondola area again, and you'll
see how it gets another level brighter.
Remember: While the mouse button is
held down, you're painting one level of
brightness. Release the mouse button,
then click-and-paint over that area again,
and you're painting over the original
brightness with more brightness, and
so on (it's kind of like polishing a silver
platter—the more times you polish it, the
brighter it gets). Now look at how much
brighter the gondola is here, compared
with the original image in Step One. Next,
let's work on the buildings on the right
and the walkway.
