{Dodging} the {burn} by Sliding ;)

I am sooo... excited about learning how to dodge/burn to brighten and darken a picture.  I knew there was a way, but I had no idea it was this easy!  Thanks so much to Ashley at Ramblings and Photos for sharing a tutorial!

I lightened her face and upper body was too shaded and I darkened her legs a bit.  They were a little too blown out but I didn't think I would be able to use this picture before.  :) 
Also does anybody know what I am doing wrong with my picture quality?  These pictures were very clear before I uploaded them.  Are the files too big for blogger or something?  Thanks!



-Side note, please ignore the bottom of the edit LOL... I guess I didn't realize that I missed the bottom of the picture, lol... I'm too lazy to fix it right now.

    Have you looked at my tutorial on sharpening for the web? Also, I never load to blogger because it does a weird compression on photos. http://www.ashleysisk.com/2011/03/shoot-and-edit-week-9-springedit.html
