These techniques are not that difficult. Are you appling these techniques in a traditional wet darkroom or digital darkroom,like PS? Dave

Home darkroom. I've increasing and/or decreasing exposure time using cardboard mounted on wire, but some books mention increasing/decreasing stops. Any difference or is this just another way of stating how much less/more light is received on the paper?

It's a way of stating how much light. Dosen't have to be the aperture on the enlarger lens, it can be with the timer. Like an extra 5 seconds of burn on a 5 second exposure is a 1 stop increase overall on the area. If you can tell from one area to another that it needs a certain f/stop amount, then you know more than most. I've always just estimated what needed burning or dodging by looking at it. After a while you just get to know how much based on the original exposure time. Your way is the way just about everybody does it. Or with your hand like I did it. Just move it around so you don't get defined edges.
