So, on this small step, I'm going to show you how to use the dodge tool to make lines on your little piece of tape here. So your dodge tool is right over here, if I zoom in for you. You can see that the shortcut is "O", so all you got to do is hit "O", and your dodge tool is selected. You want to bring the exposure up just a little bit. As you can see, set exposure for stroke, and you want to bring that to like seventy-five percent. Seventy-five, seventy-six, whatever. And you want to go ahead and just click and make little lines. And they can be little ones, just like that. They can be squiggly, or wiggly, or however you want them. But, as you can see, I made real small indentions, and they're not so noticeable. But we are going to make them even more noticeable here on the next tutorial that I'm going to show you of the next clip. So, basically, I just showed you how to use the dodge tool really quickly just to add lines. Next we're actually going to draw the wrinkles in with the burn tool. So, just stay in tune, and we're going to get along with this tutorial here."
