Video Tutorial: Dodge & Burn in Adobe Photoshop

by Deke McClelland
Total Training

If Photoshop's Toolbox were a "real" tool box, there are two tools that would probably be buried at the bottom of the box for many users: the Dodge and Burn tools. In this lesson from Total Photoshop 6, Deke McClelland gives a striking demonstration of these often neglected tools. Starting with an image of an approaching tornado, Deke uses Dodge and Burn to bring out details in dark areas of the image, and to heighten the dramatic effect of the overall scene. After watching this clip, we suspect these two tools will be promoted to the top of your toolbox!
