The PRO Photo Editing Step EVERYONE Needs to Know | Advanced Dodge and Burn Photoshop Tutorial

I realised on a tuition call last week that there was no longer any reference anywhere on our YouTube channel to contouring which is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT STEP of any edit - Contouring is another way of saying Dodge and Burn and today, we're going to cover an advanced dodge and burn photoshop tutorial without touching the dodge or the burn tool. Legit. This method was used in older Full Edits that used to exist on the YouTube channel. These are now inside the Premium Membership, you can learn more about that here: https://www.thattogspot.com/become-a-... Dodge and burn has been a thing since film days when photographers worked this technique in the darkrooms. It came over to digital with the straight dodge and burn tools, but their use is destructive - it directly alters pixel data. Instead, we use a layered technique to apply the same theory in a non-destructive way. 🔗 Blog post on this topic: https://www.thattogspot.com/how-to-do... ⏰ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 2:29 What is Dodge and Burn? 4:17 Prep the Overlay Layer 6:23 How to Dodge for the Dodge and Burn 10:00 How to Burn for the Dodge and Burn 11:05 Dodge and Burn: Before & After 12:33 Wrap Up 🙏 Be sure to subscribe to our channel for weekly content on all things photography 🙏 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Premium Membership The highly requested, new launched Premium Membership is now available here https://www.thattogspot.com/become-a-...
