Kimi, when I set the layer to overlay, you can"t see the burning..the only blend that work for me is linear light. What am I doing wrong

I don't know Suzi.
This is the method that I always use.
I think we will work it this Tuesday for homework and see what others do too.

Graffi had one called burnt corners..contact him and see is he still has it

Hi, guys - Burnt Corners is in the B&W Lab pack -

it basically makes a selection of the central part of your image, inverses the selection, creates a new layer & fills the active selection with black. Next, it changes the blend mode of the new layer to Multiply and reduces opacity to about 60%. To add some versatility & strength to the effect, it simply dupllicates the new again - cheers!

Hi Graffi... I sent quite a few people to your site the last few weeks to pick up the add-o-matic.
Hope they bought?
