Re: burning in photoshop

2003-02-14 by Jim Respess

<Has anyone noticed that when you burn a B&W image in an RGB format
that the burned area takes on a yellowish hue? This of course doesn't
occur in greyscale mode, but my scans are usually in RGB mode, and I
usually work in RBG to maintain the option of colorizing portions of
the print at some point.>

I have not noticed a hue change in burning but I have some suggestions:
	1.  Try making a new layer; change the mode to soft light and 
paint (at some reduced opacity) with black to burn or white to dodge. 
I get much more control that way.

	2.  Work in grayscale and when you want to colorize change mode to RGB.

	3.  Desaturate after burning.

Cheers,		Jim
