Understanding Burn & Dodge and 4 ways to do it

Burning and Dodging is the art of changing the three-dimensionality of an image by selectively lightening or darkening precise or broad areas of an image.

The technique derives from the days of film and darkroom printing, which is useful for any genre of photography. Arguably, Burn & Dodge tools are some of the most valuable functions in Photoshop and as with many Photoshop tools, there are multiple ways you can burn and dodge.

Every photographer should know at least one of these techniques. This knowledge can be used to enhance your imagery by creating three-dimensionality and guide the viewer’s eye.

Here I look at the different ways to burn and dodge in Photoshop and when to use which. You can also watch how to apply the different methods in our Burning & Dodging Photoshop class.
