In this video tutorial I go over some very simple techniques for dodging and burning your landscape photography in Photoshop. These techniques are what I use for all of my own images, to enhance the composition and highlight elements of interest.

Michael Shainblum It’s funny how we form perceptions of people. I’ve always assumed you, being a successful photographer, would not have any issue buying any Apple spec’d product. Is photography all you do, or do you also have a separate job? I’m intrigued...

@MichaelShainblum 4 жыл бұрын

@@CarlCosby I do pretty well as a photographer and filmmaker, its been my only job since I was 16. I am definitely thankful every day that I get to do my passion as my work. I just cant justify throwing down 14,000 for a computer to do my 8K/4K editing work. I ended up building an equivalent option for only 4,000. 8K timelapses really eat through a computers power, so its a must for what I am doing. If I was only doing landscape photography I would honestly just use a decent laptop for everything attached to a 4k screen.

Michael - great video! I do it a bit differently - new layer, fill with 50% gray, then set blend mode to soft light. Pick Dodge or Burn from the menu and use my pen from there. Curious as to the pros and cons of each technique.

@MichaelShainblum 4 жыл бұрын

Well I have not tried using the actual dodge/burn tool on a grey layer. But I would imagine it does a similar effect. I guess I just like keeping it simple with white,black, and color selections. The main reason I do not create a grey layer and just brush on a blank is because the grey layer is invisible. Really the only reason to create the grey layer is so you can see what the brush strokes look like on the thumbnail. I just have not found it useful for my own workflow and like to skip that step, thanks so much for watching!

Great and informative video Michael. I have two questions: 1: Is the second photo a composite or did you shout it in one shot. If so which settings did you use? 2nd: In Lightroom we have the brush which can also be used to dodge and burn. Photoshop seems more advanced with the color selection and blending modes. Is dodging and burning better implemented in Photoshop? Thank you and keep up the great tutorials. They really help!

@pentasonicnaturephotograph6937 4 жыл бұрын

With a d850 it may be shot at iso64 exposed for the Highlights, but does it matter? Being there, getting the conditions and nailing the composition is the true trick. Regarding photoshop: it just better suited to work with layers, opacity, and blend modes in a nondestructive way.

I was using the dodge and burn tools vs this - with the exposure settings - do you feel this is a more accurate way of controlling the highlight and shadow - vs the regular approach - I definitely like the idea of separate layers that can then be adjusted vs dodging and burning directly on a layer of the image

Hey Michael, big fan of your images. I'm surprised that you don't use the pen pressure feature. That's the biggest reason that finally got me to try out a tablet for editing (which I can't live without now). Mind letting me know why you don't use pen pressure for opacity?

@MichaelShainblum 4 жыл бұрын

I guess its all personal preference really. I have tried doing tests with pen pressure vs just doing multiple pass low opacity brushing. I have just found multiple passes more intuitive for my workflow and allows a little more room for error (at least in my experience). Thanks so much for watching! :)

@MichaelShainblum 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you might be duplicating your image layer rather then creating a new blank layer. If you duplicate the image layer and add softlight it will add a bunch of contrast. If you do this on a blank new layer there should be no changes to the image before you dodge/burn with the brush.

@@gschneider You can use an adjustment layer with hue and saturation or or another color correction adjustment on top of the dodge/burn layer and then hold "alt" in between them to link the adjustment just to the dodge/burn layer, then alter the color that way. The key to that is making sure all your dodging of each color is set on individual layers, or this method wont work regardless. Also if you are doing your dodge like the way I showed on the waterfall trees, with the curves layer and a mask. You can then alter that curves layers color cast by changing the RGB levels as well.
