I would say just use the dodge tool, and to make sure it's setting is on light, and not medium or dark. I'd need a link, because I don't have much time to search through galleries lol.

The dodge tool seems to be working fine, it looks great to me. All I could suggest is actually setting the dodge tool to medium or dark, so then it will be white when you draw over it.
