Did you know: Burn Tool + ALT = Lighten Tool

[Paul]

Got any examples with before and after that you have made mate please?

[Hoogle]

I think it will be easier to share a Tutorial I learnt it from

[ibclare]

I'm confused. I use the clipboard all the time for internet images: right click, copy img, file new OK, paste. I must be misunderstanding

[Hoogle]

it is the print screen we were referring to

[Paul]

I know what it is H just asking if you had any to put up?

Of course, 90% of you knows it allready. But if you aren't in that percentage and don't "waste" time reading manuals then you know now.

Burn Tool:
Attachment 6488

With pressed ALT key Burn Tool turns into "Lighten" Tool. Options for it are same as Burn Tool, so bigger % in Exposure it will lighten more place you paint with it.

Tip: don't set Exposure more that 5% (maximum 10%). Better paint twice that will be more accurate.

Usage: For quick lighten some places on image without masking and selectiong. In overall it isn't most precise tool in PS. But for quick and fast lighten it's good. Like 5cents improvment in 5 seconds. Good deal

Hope it's usefull.



P.S. I found it years ago by accident and keep using it almost everyday.

I don´t quite understand, you mean that when you press alt, the burn tool switches to the dodge tool? You can do that with with almost all the tools can´t you?
