Another, if convoluted, way to dodge-burn with16-bit tonality and with great control 
is to
duplicate your document, make the move you want on the dupe (which is still 16-bit), 
then
convert both dupe and original to 8-bit, and bring the altered dupe in as a separate 
layer.
Add a layer mask, initally revealing nothing, then paint in the areas you want altered 
in
the layer mask. It works better if you make the initial 16-bit move stronger than you
really want it to be, and use either brush opacity or layer opacity to moderate it. 
This
can of course be extended to multiple layers for multiple conflicting moves, or just 
to try
something several ways.
