It's not very good! lol! I used GIMP by the way so, I had a hard time finding out the same things about PS and GIMP.

An awsome liottle tutorial!
Ive actually used it as part of an art assesment!
been wanting to make underwater scenes for a long time, ive also never used the dodge and burn tools before so it was a great little exersize for me.
I plan to use it for some water dragon art, ill send you a link when im done if you want ^^ (ill also credit you on the description )

Anywho, there was one issue that had me stumped for ages...
When i first used the dodge tool to make the sun shine on the waters 'surface' i couldent get it to look right, the colour was very blocky and did not merge as softly as your image showed. I made sure all my setting were as you had demonstrated. A little while later i noticed a small tick box named (protect tones) this was automatically ticked and when i turned this off it suddenly worked like a treat!
I use PS4, not sure if its a program thing but thought it worth mentioning for others in the future.

Anyway, thanks again for a great lil tutorial. All the best, Sky

I had the exact same issue with the dodge tool and had no idea how to fix it as I am still rather new to painting in photoshop so thanks SOOO much for pointing that out. Helped me a lot.

And this tutorial is amazing! So happy I found it as I wanted something other than just a boring old white background for the dragon (The god of water) that I am drawing atm. I'll make sure to credit you in the description when I finally put it up sometime soon.

I love this tutorial I'm so happy you made it :3

I was finally able to attempt this today, and was wondering if you could look over and critique my attempt. [link] I did a lot of improvising off of yours, and couldn't figure out how to get the shiny bits in GIMP, but I think it turned out at least okay, though it needs work.

I don't have just a burn option. T_T Unless it's labeled as something else, or I just can't find it.
All I have is a Color Burn and Linear Burn and it won't let me edit anything on them.
