Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

Thanks for sharing your technique.

Here is what I have been doing, however, there must be a better way....

After creating a new layer, I draw a circle, elipse, or rectangle. I feather the shape to a max of 250. I then use the gradient tool with the mode set to darken and adjust the transparency as required.

Last year I saw George DeWolfe demonstrate his technique, but he was just a bit too quick for me to write down what he did.

  Mike, whereever i want to burn in, I have a fairly crude technique, but I
  make a levels layer of the whole image or selection, bang the gamma down to
  as dark as I want the burn in to be, then use the erasure tool to bring the
  original back up. I fine tune with the opacity slider.
