Dodge and Burn Automatically and Still Have Manual Controls in Photoshop

The Amazing AUTO-MANUAL Way to Dodge and Burn in Photoshop using the power of Apply Image feature! Learn how to combine Blend-If, Curves, and Apply Image in a smart way to automatically perform dodging and burning and add dimension to your images.
Dodging and burning is nothing but brightening or darkening certain parts of the object in the image, to give the object more dimension and a sense of shape, which would otherwise look flat. Dodge means brighten, whereas, burn means darken. One can really sculpt the face make the portrait pop using this technique.

I'm a photographer and an advanced PS user, and still, I learn from your tuts, good job all around!

[@martin-steiner-photography]

The same here. You are a great person and excellent in what you do. Thank you

[@timorden]

Wow, I;m was blown away (old guy's terminology) You are the best, young man. Teaching the nature of the tools, separates you from the pack. I just need to practice and watch several times. Then the techniques will be part of my palette for all sorts of stuff. thank you thank you...

[@GLue02]

I've been watching Photoshop tutorial videos for a long time and stopped because I wasn't learning much new information. After cruising through some suggested videos I landed on your channel. Your videos are so much more advanced and concept oriented than many of the others I've run into, it's really refreshing to see this level of applied concepts being taught. It builds on the more obscure information I've already required, but it doesn't leave me in the dark on some of the newer stuff. Good Job! Subscription earned. Between PiXimperfect and Phlearn I'm actually learning again!

[@kcwhat]

I’ve watched several of your videos. You are an incredible teacher. I’ve probably been using Photoshop before you were born, but your skill level triples my age and skill. Kudos to you sir! Thank you!

[@yashs132]

Goes without saying, you are an amazing teacher. You have an amazing energy + excellent vocal command + thought way too deeply for every little thing. Fantastic JOB!

[@richardmendoza4389]

What a fantastic tutorial! For me, on this particular photo, altho the burning seems a little heavy handed, it's learning the technique to suit one's particular tastes that's most important. & that you have demonstrated wonderfully. Respect to you, sir! Well done!

[@joaquinparchment5986]

[@suzannamars7263]

Always amazing Unmesh strikes again! Thanks!

[@csovarilaszlo]

You're doing some of the best videos in the Photoshop topic on KZbin! I just have a theoretical question regarding this technique: Applying a dodge curve and then removing it gradually from the dark regions using Blend-if isn't the same as if you were creating that dodge curve and were pushing back the darker regions of the curve to gradually meet the 45° line?

[@anuuragr]

You are too good buddy!! Awesome tips and teaching style. Thank you for such informative videos.🙏🙏🙏

[@szubal]

Epic again. going to take a few tries to digest of all of this one. thank you

FANTASTIC!! You are AMAZING!

[@SHYAMFER]

Excellent tutorial. Wonderful teacher

[@GirlWithTheFilmCam]

First used dodging and burning in film photography class where we had to manually produce our photographs on photo paper. You would take your 35mm film and use the enlarger to expose onto photo sensitive paper in the dark room. During this exposing period you would time out how long it took to create a properly exposed image onto your paper. You could burn in the image longer in some areas versus 'dodging' or simply blocking certain other parts of the image to expose as long. You used another piece of paper or object, like a circle cutout, or whatever you could use to do this. Ansel Adams used this in his photographs. The zone system wasn't just about capturing the dynamic range of light to dark in his photographs, this technique also applied to when exposing the images onto paper. He could lighten some areas and darken others; balancing the image and attracting the eye to other areas of the photo.

[@sadesign9575]

This is amazing I love your work.

Great step by step instruction

[@thierryfillieul7569]

This is the best one , loved it .

[@Sandra_aschenbach_doyle]

You are unique among your Kind on KZbin. Brillant Stuff.the way you explain these thigs so easy is amazing each tuime. Phhotoshop is sometimes really weirdly built and hard to get for new people. Photography in general with all the terms and settings in digital editing are hella frightening and confusing because so many things lead to the same thing. the way you teah basic color knowledge on the side is just the proverbial cherry on top. I sincerly wish i could explain this stuff even to a fraction of your skill-level to people. My rRespect

[@smedz28]

Very precise and clear style, thanks

[@annavoloshyna3524]

Thank you! Great explanation!

[@UttamKumar-bm8wr]

[@ZUMBAFITNESSDANCETRAINING]

just like this guy... Thumbs up even before watching.... :)

[@VannApragal]

Great tut!!! Best one of yours!!! One tip I haven't tried yet but just an idea. I think you should be able to get the burn layer simply by subtracting Dodge layer from Normal layer. You should be able to get that by having Normal layer below the Dodge layer and change layer properties to "subtract". Am I missing something here?

[@michaelcus734]

Very informative! Keep it up!

[@oriolalella322]

Great!!! thanks a lot from Barcelona Spain!

[@Cre8tiveWoman]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@bigmodaco]

I didn't like this guy, but I was so wrong, this guy has totally improved my editing in photoshop, 1,000 percent, pure genius and simple to follow

[@chakrijs34]

Very useful videos.I haven't seen any tutor explaining the concept like you.keep doing such useful videos.I have small doubt regarding the above video did you do frequency separation,eye sharpening for layer0 or the layer0 after curves.
