    "Burning" refers to using a tool which will allow a selected area to be darkened more than the area around it. I've heard of Photoimpact, but I'm not familiar with it.

    BTW, I like both of the second pictures; nicely done, and agree with marko's comments.

    Tirediron is correct. Burning in refers to darkening a specific part of an image. Dodging refers to lightening a specific part of an image. Hang around for a while and you'll see that we use these terms over and over.

    If you want to become a great photographer, you WILL 100% be dodging and burning almost every single image that you feel is better than a snapshot. It's one of the very important keys to a great photograph. This recent thread explains it all quite well and has images as well. The blue nile falles retouched

    There are tips on how to use photoshop scattered throughout this site and the Internet, but photoshop is MUCH to complex to have a single topic to show you how to use it.

    Many people buy a book or take tutorials to learn the basics of photoshop.

    That said - if you ask a specific question on how to use photoshop, it's our pleasure to help answer it.

    Thx

    If you have Photo Shop is is worth your time to learn it, it is the best photo editing program around in my opinion. That said it does have a steep learning curve, but well worth it. As others have said there are a ton of tutorials online.
