Dodge and Burn in Photoshop!
Includes the action + 4 sample images to work with!
In this fundamentals tutorial, I will cover how I use Dodge and Burn in Photoshop to create that smooth 3D pop
- Understand the fundamentals necessary to optimize the process. Know what kind of light to look for or to create that best suits this style of editing!
- I’ll give you an amazing way to visualize luminance (Highlights and shadows) values in your image that you can use to create a better reference to the effect
- Analyze images for shadows and highlights, and how I set up my painting method
- You’ll also learn how to use Dodge and Burn to remove wrinkles! (This process works very well with the Frequency Separation process!)
- I demonstrate the process across four images so you can see how to apply it to your own images.
So let’s start getting creative with our uses of Dodge and Burn in Photoshop today!

Great use of dodge & burn (so much easier digitally than in a darkroom!) to give added dimension to portraits.
Plus a very useful technique for minimising wrinkles with a natural result. Perfect for clients that want to look ‘real’.

Packed with examples for using the dodge & burn technique for multiple applications (adding depth & dimension to images, smoothing clothing, minimising wrinkles & skin imperfections) along with the very useful ‘trick’ of utilising a black & white layer to better visualise the light & dark areas of your image. Highly recommended.

An excellent tutorial! Easy to follow with samples that help you develop the sense of light and dark. Seeing the luminance values that create shape!

setting the image to black and white is brilliant. Thank you for helping me see and understand more about luminosity in my images.

Very well explained. Its a treasure of information on the finer details of editing. The introduction of the black and white layer was a game changer. Thank you!

Of all the tutorial I’ve see, you stop to explain things so much better. I’ve been using Photoshop since the first version ever came out and I still have learned from your tutorials, Thanks!

VERY informative! I learned a lot thru the detail and focus of this tutorial, even after watching many of the regular tutorials. I appreciate the in depth examples on what is possible with this technique. Thank you for this reference tutorial!

Thank you for explaining how to blend while doing dodge and burn. I finally understand why my brush strokes looked too strong before. The way you showed how to use low flow and paint with the light really helped me.
