My Secret Dodge & Burn Trick in Photoshop - Control Depth Using Sliders

►Download Tutorial PSD & Photo file: photoshopdesire...
In this photoshop photo retouching tutorial, learn how to apply dodge and burn to portraits easily in photoshop using blending options.
Before get into this tutorial. i recommend you to first clear your portrait skin. If any major blemishes appears in the photos first try to clear it and then proceed with the dodging and burning.
Ok let's start.
First we need to lighten the overall image, to do that go to adjustments and add curves.In here i'm not going to change any thing, instead I'll change the blending to "screen" which I'm going to use this layer to control dodge effect.
Now we need to darken the overall image, to do that again go to adjustments and add curves. In here i'm not going to change any thing, instead i'll change the blending to "multiply" which darkens the overall image. I'll use this layer to control burn effect.
Now select both layers - right click and choose group from layers CTRL+G or Command+G keyboard shortcut and click ok. Now i want to apply the layer mask to the group. to do that simply click on add layer mask icon to apply the layer mask to the group.
Now select layer mask and go to image menu and select apply image. Apply image dialog box appears, in here keep everything to default, except lower the opacity to 50%. click ok.
Now lower the opacity of the group to 50% which controls the dodge and burn strength.
Now we're going to control the dodge and burn effect. First let's adjust the dodge effect. Select the dodge layer and right click, select "Blending options".
In this dialog, the important slider here is Underlying Layer. which contains black triangle and white triangle. White triangle represents the lighter areas whereas black triangle represents the darker areas.
To control the dodge effect we need to minimize the lighten affect from the shadows. So simply drag the black triangles to the right, i will keep blending at 130. Keep an eye on the image so that you will see that the particular lighten areas are selected. Now Hold Option or Alt Key click on the triangles splits them so you can feather the blending effect. Click ok.
To control the Burn effect we need to minimize the darken affect from the highlights. So simply drag the white triangles to the left and splits them so you can feather the blending effect, i will keep blending at 128.
Now group everything and add inverted layer mask, hold Alt or option key and click on layer mask icon.
Now take white brush and paint on face to reveal the dodge and burn effect to your preference.
You can adjust the depth of the effect by lower or increasing opacity of the group.
Thats it. We're done.

Of course is it matters to everyone who wants to understand it.

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Good tut. I use to do it like that only less complicated. Make 2 copies of your base layer (2 x command/ctrl J) Instead of Screen and Multiply I use ColorBurn and ColorDodge (but it works also good with screen and multiply) . So one of the copies gets a ColorBurn blending mode and the other a ColorDodge blending mode Apply a black mask on each of the two layers (black is hidden) Take a soft brush with a low flow and paint white (electing the masks) where you want the highlights and darks to be visible Every stroke (flow) will make it more visible As addition, you can put a blur on the mask if you need a softer softer transition

[@moonshadefp]

i love this, tried it today.

[@shinestar9708]

This video explains it better

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Damn you made that look so easy. Damn!

[@graphicredesign1492]

Nice. I use a different method that doesn't manipulate the existing colors so dramatically (which blend modes do). I just boost highlights and shadow using 1 curve for each. Mask/reveal them back in. This only controls the existing colors "as they are" and doesn't create additional effects to the colors as is common with blend modes.

[@ChistiCakes]

Thank you! I have been trying to figure this out for the longest time!

[@Ruffneck101]

Same, doesn't even give me the option

[@Taxcopueblomagico]

No me aparece esa opción tampoco :/

[@kolossimike]

Try this: select all the layers you want to group, then hold down Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and press 'G.'

[@evertuber]

Brilliant trick Good job. Very fast

[@EditorBelal]

[@robcsi1978]

Hello, Can you make a downloadable action for this? Thank you!

[@alexecioranu764]

Action will not work because in every photo you have to control the dodge and burn in different amount, it will not work universally.

[@amitpareshan19]

Thank you❤

[@arm3lit0]

triangle he means. and press ALT or OPTION key on Mac.

[@spiritghoul3199]

group from layers option is not in my photoshop what to do sir?

[@pattypenna]

Wonderful, thank you!

[@SabbirAhmed-td9ou]

What is the alternative of pressing the alt key?

[@ashwanibhola3766]

Great video, loved the simple and effective technique! One question though, when adjusting the Blending Options of the Dodge/Burn layers, I noticed in the Dodge Blending you split the triangle and moved it towards the white. In the Burn Blending, you split the triangle and again moved towards the white, when I expected you to move it to the black this time. Was this intentional, or a mistake?

[@louispasdeprenom9950]
