The PRO Photo Editing Step EVERYONE Needs to Know | Advanced Dodge and Burn Photoshop Tutorial

Рет қаралды 22,179

Күн бұрын

I realised on a tuition call last week that there was no longer any reference anywhere on our KZfaq channel to contouring which is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT STEP of any edit - Contouring is another way of saying Dodge and Burn and today, we're going to cover an advanced dodge and burn photoshop tutorial without touching the dodge or the burn tool. Legit.
This method was used in older Full Edits that used to exist on the KZfaq channel. These are now inside the Premium Membership, you can learn more about that here: www.thattogspot.com/become-a-...
Dodge and burn has been a thing since film days when photographers worked this technique in the darkrooms. It came over to digital with the straight dodge and burn tools, but their use is destructive - it directly alters pixel data. Instead, we use a layered technique to apply the same theory in a non-destructive way.

Hi Jessica, I just discovered your KZfaq channel a few days ago. Your tutorials are great. I'm a photographer here in the US and a huge dog lover the lessons that you share are wonderful. I am looking froward to all future videos. I am also traveling to the UK this summer to visit my son in Watford can't wait to go back there. Thank you for your lessons. Take care.

With flow at 100% you get the full amount available with one stroke. Opacity mutes it, but it can be more gentle to paint with 5% flow at 100% opacity, gradually building the effect.

Painting white and black over a color image? Also, why opacity versus flow? This method lays the full white or black stroke with the very first stroke. Flow allows stroke-by-stroke gradual buildup, correct?

@ThatPhotographySpot 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not painting on the image, it’s painting on a grey layer set to overlay, so it darkens and adds contrast when black is painted onto it. We reach out opacity with this method instead of flow to control the strength more closely. Flow is buildable and for those just starting or inexperienced, it will end up way too harsh way too quickly - opacity safeguards it to a set level and applies it in a set strength all the time 🙌

@jonasweiss5817 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I’m confused. Doesn’t it do the same when you don’t add a gray overlay?

@cm-dd9og 2 жыл бұрын

It is a good tutorial. But I’ve been in photography a While and I have to say, to the majority of people, they wouldn’t notice the difference whether you did this or not. If they weren’t happy with a tack sharp photo of their dog, they won’t be happy with some minor dodge and burn adjustments.

@ThatPhotographySpot 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I like to think that we don’t create art just for the client, but also for ourselves and our portfolio too. If taking an extra 2 mins to dodge and burn takes us from ok to wow them I’m in 🤓

however you cannot use blend modes in Lightroom 😊

@@ThatPhotographySpot No need for blend modes. You only want blend modes because Photoshop uses them and you don't know how to do it otherwise. Lightroom does it all. And a lot easier.
