I'm looking for some tips and tricks on the following:
1) Using the Dodge/Burn Tool to tweak clouds and sky on landscape images
2) Create a slight vignette on photos at the corners (post-processing via PS/PSE, as opposed to true physical lens vignette)

Here is a Tutorial by  Pedro on burning and dodging that is really good and on this site. You can find more under the learn tab on this site too. For a vignette try creating a levels mask and darken the whole image to how you would like the edges to be, then using a large black brush on the mask erase the parts you don't want so the edges are darkened. Hope that helps.

To throw you a bit in the right direction, painting with Black and white brushes onto a layer in soft light mode does a better job for these applications than the Dodge/Burn tools.

Use the Lens Correction filter in Photoshop and add a negative amount of vignette correction. Otherwise you can add an adjustment layer that darkens the image and mask out all but the corners. |

Good tip. I always try to do my editing non-destructively as far as possible, and the dodge/burn tool isn't very good at that. |

Thanks for all the replies. I haven't had a chance to look at the reference links yet, but have a follow-up question...
Are all the methods referred to in the replies "DPC Advanced Editing Friendly"?

As far as I can tell yes.
Oh and another tip I use for dodging and burning is to duplicate the background, or the layer to be manipulated and set the opacity to 50%, this helps make the effect not to over the top.
