Layers are your friend(s)... ;>) I've never had much luck w/the Burn Tool. Things seem to get a little muddy when using it. I played w/your pix a little and came up w/this. I'll remove it from the web w/in 24 hours...sooner if you'd like. http://home.earthlink.net/~allaround6/quickpage/marnie's_yosemite.jpg http://tinyurl.com/29xlct The background mountains were selected and copied to a new layer and the blend mode for that layer changed to "multiply". That made the mountains in shadow a little too dark and the sunlit ones still too light. I hit the mountains in shadow w/the erase tool at about 50% opacity and re-copied just the sunlit peaks to a third layer, applied the "multiply" blend mode again and flattened the image to a new jpg. I think it defines the mountains in the background a little better. HTH -p ============ Not bad, thanks.
