The other really useful too re- dodge and burn w/ masks is the gradient,
which I find especially useful when dealing with old negatives with light
leaks, streaks, etc.

Thanks, Todd, for the concise yet complete explanation- it will help me even
though I thought I knew how to do it!  I for one would like to hear more...

I prefer to work with adjustment layers, layer masks, and curves. It's a

cake.

so your curve will not affect that area, painting white makes it so it will
affect that area, grays allow for partial effect.

finer
points of this process...
