| In a recent challenge, I was DQ'd for useing dodge and burn as a cloneing tool.I am not complaining,I just need to know for sure what the problem was.Someone else might have the same question.I'm a photoshop dummy, so please help me out. I thought the dodge and burn tools were for making your picture lighter and darker in places. And the cloneing tool was something completely different, to remove things from your picture. (It was basic editing by the way)Is a cloning tool a general thing or is it just a cloning tool by it's self? Do cloning tools have other names such as dodge and burn? I am really confused,which is most of the time, I don't want to make the same mistake again. Thank you! |

| Dodge and burn are separate from cloning and you are correct in saying they make things darker and lighter in places ... however you are not allowed to use dodge and burn in basic editing as what ever editing you do it must be to the entire image, so you could make the whole image lighter or darker but not a selection using dodge and burn |

I assume you are talking about this  and I assume you used the dodge tool around the edges to make them lighter ... in advanced editing that would be fine, though you may still get penalized for removing elements by dodging so much though you would have to check with the SC ... |

| So, dodge and burn are spot editing.I understand now, thank you so much.I really appreciate it when people take the time to answer my questions.It might be slow....but I'm learning!!! |
