Very effective, understandable and well directed tutorial. Sometimes we forget about the less utilized tools we have in our tool box. Thanks for reminding me.

Thank you so much Pedro! This was incredibly helpful. I was one that used it very ineffectively -- so didn't really use them at all, except maybe to lighten teeth or the whites of eyes. Realizing that you only turn your exposure to 3 or in extreme instances 9 was the key to me. Can't wait to make it work for me! THANKS!

To increase contrast in specific areas of an image you could also use a brightness/contrast or levels or curves adjustment layer, mask it and paint back selectively with the brush tool in much the same fashion.
With the brush you can then remask, painting with black if you overdo it on certain areas.. Find that harder to control with the otherwise nice tools dodge/burn...

There are alternative dodge and burn techniques you might also want to try with Photoshop.
The dodge and burn technique I like is painting with black(burn) and white(dodge) on a 50% greyscale layer that gives a more natural result. That is because it mixes very smoothly with the existing tones and allows more subtle control with a low opacity brush. It doesn't use PS's dodge or burn tools at all. You can also paint with colors on the 50% layer for nice color tone and saturation adjustments. It is described here:

Another alternative dodge and burn technique is found here:

Fixing links. I'm with Steve; I almost never use the D/B tools, preferring to work with brushes on an overlay layer filled with 50% neutral gray.

Ditto. However, I prefer to use a softlight layer.

I haven't really experimented with that. Tell me why it works better for you?

The results, to me, from the softlight layer seem to be more subtle and transparent than the overlay layer - works better with skin tones.
However, in cases of needing to do drastic dodge/burn (eg. cleaning up black/white backgrounds), it's often not enough and I do have to switch to overlay.

Hi. I wrote a short tutorial on my blog for a friend about the use of Dodge and Burn too, just last night. Was going to post it here in the Forum but I found this one! Great tut.
I was going to ask for pointers and corrections on my tut, so here it is: //www.singleshutter.com/index12.htm . It could also help newbies trying out this tool.
Hope you guys can look at it, and maybe add your thoughts. Cheers! |
