Becster Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 In today's newsletter (5/11/2011) one of the products used was Chere Edwards She Sells Sea Shells. On the product page, Chere's layout has a flat ribbon that weaves through a word art label. The spots where the ribbon goes over/under the label appear raised and lighter. Is this achieved by lightening the opacity or is there something else I should know? I'm using PSE9. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Personally, I would use the Dodge and Burn tools to create some shadows where the ribbon goes below the tag and highlights where the ribbon goes over the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabalistic Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I agree with Anna, I try to use a separate layer for the Dodge/Burn (which would use Black & White colors) and then change the blending mode of the layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried the dodge & burn tools countless times but it never appears to do anything. I think mine is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Hughes Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Dodge & burn tools are great stuff, but I tend to use them directly on the item and use undo a lot! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dodge and burn tools take a little practice (at least they did for me), their use is covered in Katherine Weaver's class: The Art of Painting with Light and Dark.

MLLatscrapgirls Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Try looking at your settings - Dodge set on Highlights and Burn set on Shadows. (Although I have gotten some interesting effectss when I forgot to do that lol.) I use a duplicate layer for each one so I can see the changes. But Katherine's class is the best!
