simple edge loops question

hi guys,

- i have a corner on a cylinder that i need to sharpen up, but when i add the edge loops either side i end up losing the roundness of the cylinder and sharpening the whole thing - how do people deal with this, im guessing i need to cut into the edge loops somewhere, but modeling isnt my strong point so any pointers on the edge flow for this would be great!

thanks
Nicky

use the kiting method it uses quadsstill and is ideal for this type of work
