Hi JA,

I am eager to hear your technique. My problem is that while I am very good at lightening objects by using layers that the paintbrush over the areas I am darkening looks odd against the fur...i.e. on a bride's dress with seams and edges, it is really easy. The dog's coat is continuous though and it makes it much harder for me. If you have tips, I will be glad to hear them.
