To make things darker or lighter, you have to set it to a low opacity and then build it up. By painting at 100%, you can quickly fade the brush stroke to the exact density that you desire.

Great tutorial! The second (adjustment curve) method is one I'll probably use for years after trying it today. Thanks! Great tutorial!

Seems like it would be quicker/easier to "undo" areas by erasing than by having to get the 50% gray color re-selected to paint over stuff. I should say, though, that I appreciate the first technique because it can be done in GIMP, which lacks adjustment layers and so can't use your second method. I enjoy your blog, keep up the great work. --sdc Jeff,
