Get Luminar Neo here: bit.ly/Luminar-NEO and use ATNEO10 for a further discount! This is my method for an easy approach to dodge and burn. 2 layers. One to brighten, one to darken. Full control with masks and opacity sliders. Not just for portraits I use the same technique on this landscape edit: • How To Edit With Layer...
Although not necessary (I used a mouse for this demo) a graphics tablet will make your editing experience so much more enjoyable and accurate. Just like drawing with a pen/pencil - not a clunky mouse. The best quality to price ratio I've found is with these tablets bit.ly/BestGraphicsTablet I use the Kamvas Pro 16 2.5k (although I kinda wish I'd got the 4k).

BIG NEWS! Skylum has just launched a summer sale where you can save a massive 81% off Luminar Neo here bit.ly/NeoSale But the cool thing is in addition to that they've given me a coupon code to share with you so you get to save ANOTHER 20% (use code AFF-T5C1C0 ) I really hope that helps you out! It should work for both the perpetual licence and the subscription too. Enjoy😄 Best wishes, Anthony

I've been doing this to photos forever, using the usual tools, but I like this method! I can't wait to use it on my wildlife and landscape photos.

Blend mode dodge and burning is genius. Going to be trying this out in Affinity as well. It’s also a really nice edit on a glasses wearer, I like how you embrace the reflections and make them work.

Very nice. Not much of portrait photography myself but the way you presented dodge and burn, I can see how to apply this technique to other styles of photography and in other photo editing programs. Thank you so much for sharing.

Superb Anthony, absolutely first class. You make it look so easy, I'll just have to practice more to get anywhere near your skill set, but your tutorials are definitely taking me in the right direction. Stay loose mate👍😎

I use a very similar approach in Affinity Photo but hadn't thought to use it in Neo - mainly because the D&B tool in Neo does a pretty good job on its own.

Hi Anthony! It's a great idea using layers to change the tone of the picture - I never thought of it - thanks! I usually reach for the Dodge and Burn tool! Regards from Felix the Cat. 😺

commented re glasses reflection but also wanted to add that at the time of exposure, either lower the head or raise the camera to avoid shooting up and showing the nostrils of the nose which are generally not very attractive in images of humans. I feel that the darkness of the hollow at the R clavicle and the area below the chin on the shadow side of the face to be overly dark and don't leave a skin tone the the area.

Great thoughts regarding the glasses. As mentioned in the video this isn't one of my shots.

@marclabro 8 ай бұрын

great presentation. This is the way i worked 20 years ago in photoshop :-) since this date d&b tools have evolved in LRC, ON1 and photoshop. A pity Skylum doesn't implement the "re-editable" brush strokes, radial and linear gradients as we have in any software instead of retouching a gradient with a brush.

Hi Anthony, great tutorial again, many thanks. Maybe an idea for a next video: Since you presented the Topaz AI tools here over a year ago, I've got them as well and especially DeNoise I'm a big fan of it. I've complained a bit with Topaz as there were pushing just the new Photo AI tool and not the individual products. They told me that this is intentional as Photo AI is going to replace the 3 individual tools in the long term. So I started to use Photo AI. A new tutorial on Photo AI + Luminar Neo would be great :)

How do you think of this stuff? Great job. Thanks.

@thejaebeing 9 ай бұрын

Would lumonosity masking in luminar 4 speed up this process. You can use the multiply and screen image as tiff files and use luminosity masking in luminar 4 to have rhe machine do the highlight and inverse mask to do the burn

@AnthonyTurnham 9 ай бұрын

Yeah, I really miss luminosity masking.

@isoawe1888 9 ай бұрын

Thanks Anthony. Great video. Setting it at 20, does that work more like PS flow or density. As in, each brush stroke adds another 20. Thanks.

@AnthonyTurnham 9 ай бұрын

More like the brush opacity in PS

Hello Anthony. Can you, or anyone here, tell me how to zoom in on a layer? Every time I try it just re-aligns the layer out of whack with the layer beneath it. Appreciate any assistance, thank you 🙏

@AnthonyTurnham 9 ай бұрын

Hmmm, for me just the usual zoom tool or pressing z works and doesn't move the layers.

@WillKelly2020 9 ай бұрын

@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you Anthony. Apologies. Yes, I can zoom in, but then, if I want to move the image around to get to different parts of it while still zoomed in, instead of just moving the layer beneath with it, it goes out of alignment with the image below

@WillKelly2020 9 ай бұрын

@@AnthonyTurnham So, I can't work out how to simply scroll up, down, side to side on an image after I have zoomed in. Hope that makes sense

perfect -- no more reflections from the lenses. One can either lower the head, or raise the camera or move the glasses lower or remove them completely or use glasses without the lenses installed.

By the way Anthony, could you edit some of my photos using Luminar Neo? 😺 Thanks! Regards from Felix the Cat. 😺
