Photo Retouching: Dodging and Burning

video

One of my blog subscribers in Poland wrote me to request a video tutorial on this portrait of Nicole. He wasn't the only one to request more detailed tutorials so I finally broke down and recorded this one. I hope you enjoy!

** edit 12/3/07 - I made the video larger based on your feedback.

Thanks, Jake!
I was about to comment on the previous entry to ask if you could provide some info on your dodge'n'burn technique, but now I found the video tutorial explaining exactly that - fantastic!
Thank you for sharing this, and, of course, not to forget you got some brilliant starting material also to work with.

Well with in the first few seconds of watching that video I learned a great tip. I always seem to forget about the catch light.

These are all great tips. I often find myself using dodge/burn tools to correct things, but I've got to start using them more to enhance things.

Thanks for taking the time to put this out there!

Thank you for a GREAT tutorial! I didn’t really know how the dodge and burn tool worked, but this one video has really helped.

Jose Gallardo said...

cool tutorial, but for me the problem is the small size of the video screen, I mean I cannot see well what you are doing and since I dont know all the PS tools in Eglish ...(Im Spanish and the PS tools are not straight translated in Spanish into PS Spanish versions)
Could we get it in larger size?
