Use of dodge burn - Dunham - 10-06-2025
Hello, how are you?
I downloaded and installed a D&B plugin in GIMP. I'm using version 3.0.6 (updated yesterday because I was on 3.0.4). The plugin is working very well and is a real help. However, I have a question: I'm facing the following situation:
1. D&B layer
2. Character layer with a transparent background
3. Solid color background layer.
It turns out that if I apply D&B to the background area, even though it's on the D&B layer, when I brush over the area, it paints over that area. Is there a way to apply the D&B layer only to the layer immediately below, that is, the character layer?
I tried locking the alpha channel on the D&B layer and the character layer, but it didn't work.
D&B = Dodge & Burn

Rasterize the text layer : 'Discard Tekst Information' (right click on the text layer)
Select the text with the 'Fuzzy Select Tool'
Paint over the text with a brush

Hi
I don't think the translation turned out well. There's no text layer. There's a dodge & burn layer, a character layer, and a background layer.

Same workflow, select the character, no need to rasterize.
See example, I used dodge on the left side of the face. There's no dodge on the background.

Good morning!
Thank you.
It's resolved.
