Hmm. Is it possible that you have more than one layer in your
photograph? When you have multiple layers, the dodge tool will only
affect the layer currently selected. You can dodge and dodge and
nothing seems to happen if the layer selected is transparent or
underneath another layer. I have made that mistake lots of times.
Or, is it possible that you scanned the photo at 16-bit color depth?
Older versions of Photoshop only allowed the most minimal editing
until the photo was converted to 8-bit color depth.
And, again, Photoshop help is inherently worthless.
No argument there.
