 * Notes
+** what is blend-if
+- controls which areas show up and which hide based on brightness levels
+
+** shine and dimension
+- add solid color layer
+  - sample color of highlight
+  - pick brighter or lower shade
+  - mask- CMD+I
+- dab white on mask wherever you want the highlight
+- change blend mode to 'Screen'
+- take away from darkened areas
+  - double click on right hand side of highlight layer to open up 'layer style'
+  - in 'Blending Options', move underlying layer lefthand slider to the right
+  - hold Opt key on lefthand slider to break it apart, move the rightmost to the right, and left a bit left
+
+*** adjustment
+- you can change the highlight color to anything you like by changing the color of the solid color layer
+
+*** refine it
+- CMD+J on color layer to duplicate it
+- open the layer style
+- modify underlying layer
+
+*** apply only to hair ignoring face
+- group the two layer colors
+- CMD+I to apply mask
+- black the face area
+
+** dramatic eyes
+- add curve adjustment layer
+- curve it up at center top
+- create mask, and Cmd+I to invert
+- choose soft round brush
+- go to lower part of eye and dab white
+- switch to black then remove shine on skin, you only want it on the eye
+- open layer style
+  - on blending options
+  - go to underlying layer
+  - split it using Opt key
+  - this makes it more natural
