Glenn Mitchell of The Light’s Right has lots of excellent in-depth tutorials available as free PDF downloads, including this superb overview of digital dodging (selective lightening) and burning (selective darkening) techniques:

Tony Kuyper also has a series of excellent tutorials on more sophisticated Photoshop techniques such as luminance masking (which allows highly selective dodging and burning of particular tonal ranges within an image)

I have appreciate the accumulated wisdom and experience available in the searchable discussion archive of the Photoshop Users Support Group an Flickr:

as well as the Digital Photography Review forum on software and retouching
