Dodge and burn

12/10/2013

So over the last few weeks I have been learning all about retouching. My favourite tool that I have been using is the 'dodge' and 'burn' tools, below is a small example of how I have been using it...

I started by opening my image in my editing software.

Adjust the levels.
Picture
Adjust the curves.
Picture
Create a new layer and set the mode to 'overlay' then tick the box to make the layer 50% grey.
Picture
Use the 'dodge' tool to highlight certain areas and the 'burn' tool to create dark shadows.

Final image.
