Digital BW, The Print

Everything you do with the image in PS should be done in layers. 
 Recommended
is using adjustment layers, since they weigh only a few kb.  Until you 
get hold of
them do the duplicate layer.  Put the mask on it (at the beginning "see 
all"), make
your adjustment on the whole image to the point the chosen areas look 
good, but
a bit darker and more saturated than necessary.  Go back to the mask and 
make
it "all invisible". You see that it disappears and you see uncorrected 
image.  Now,
make your foreground color white and take a brush tool (experiment with 
the size
and pressure, and paint with that brush the areas to be changed.  You 
will see, that
the adjusted layer becomes visible just in these spots.

I would recommend going to some instructing books and learn about the 
layers,
masks and channels.

You should always do changes to the image in a layer, having the 
original state unchanged,
easy to return to if you want.

Good luck,
Jack

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I received another reply that I'll try also. It seems that this should be something that is easily done. Like use the eyedropper then go to burning tool and burn. Someday they will probably do that but for now, I guess I'll have to do it the roundabout way.
