Dodge & Burn FAST with 'Lines' in Photoshop!

Рет қаралды 452,011

Күн бұрын

Using the concept of Contouring and Highlighting in makeup, we will use simple lines to perform Dodging and Burning to bring out the best features of the face and make the portrait pop. In this lesson, we will use the almighty Curves along with a unique masking technique to add depth and dimension to the portrait. To achieve a more natural result, we'll also learn to use Blend If to limit the highlights and shadows. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

There was a time when I did not know much about Photoshop, I was very under confident whether if I would be able to use Photoshop or not! I did not even know what layers are how to mask objects how to use blend modes, how to do skin retouching with different techniques, how to create composites and many more. But thanks to you man ❤️ I'm not a photoshop expert but at least I know many more things of Photoshop and that is totally because of YOU!! You're my man! Thank you so much for helping me from the beginning and teaching me & millions or people how to use Photoshop. Kudos to you 🍻❤️

I made a tutorial on this D&B approach years ago, but I used a paintbrush and changed the blending mode, so it wasn't the best workflow. Using the curves adjustment layers is by far a better solution! Thanks dude 🙂
