The best way to do this is to create a new layer like this:

 Layer/New Layer and set Mode to Overlay in the dialog. Then check Fill
with Overlay - neutral color (50%grey)
Then use the Paintbrush tool with different opacities and sizes. (black
to burn and white to dodge) You can also use the dodge and burn tools.
Not only is this layer always editable, but you can also set the layer
opacity as well as the Paintbrush opacity. Very flexible.

I guess this is a bit off topic, but in the realm of digital printing 
is part of the process. I would like to know how people are 
accomplishing edge burning techniques in Photoshop?

I find this to be one difficult task. Not because it is hard, but 
because I never asked nor learned how to do it. It is not covered in 
the texts that I have read.
