In other words, <strong>DODGING<\/strong> is a technique <strong>lightening<\/strong> and <strong>BURNING<\/strong> a technique <strong>darkening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But what is the purpose of using these techniques? <b>DODGING and BURNING<\/b> are used in all types of photography to sculpt, create depth in a portrait or landscape or an outline or more 3D on an object in order to <b>create a more impactful and emotional image<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">With skill and practice, you can profoundly change the way an image feels to the viewer. You'll be able to improve the way light bounces, reflects, and gives depth of life to a two-dimensional photo! In fact, this is what painters train to master at the beginning of their learning process. In the photographic world, it's no different for retouchers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">On a Raw photo, we all start by making a few global adjustments to refine the exposure, recover the highlights if necessary, as well as the shadows, blacks and whites, etc ... Tone correction is really just a 'sort of' overall DODGING and BURNING of an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">But what I want to discuss here is how to apply it locally, using a graphics tablet with its stylus in your RAW converter, in Photoshop or even in Photoshop using luminosity masks, and how to choose between these different ways of applying these effects effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">First of all, we need to understand how light and shadow work with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-46db10c\" id=\"1-quest-ce-quune-photo\" data-block-id=\"46db10c\"><style>.stk-46db10c .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Understanding light and shadow ...<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><b>The closest areas affected by direct light are the brightest. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><b>on a photo.<\/b> The opposite, <b>the unlit areas are the darkest part of the shadows<\/b>which can be black or very close to black. You also have <b>cast shadows<\/b>A fairly dark area, but made by an object and close to this object. Between these two extremities, <b>you have the semitones or midtones,<\/b> who are <b>transition tones between highlights and shadows. These mid-tones are generally gradations.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-cb88e23\" id=\"1-quest-ce-quune-photo\" data-block-id=\"cb88e23\"><style>.stk-cb88e23 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Depth in an image<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Depending on what we want to achieve with an image, we will use the Dodging and Burning techniques differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">To even out a surface and make it smooth and flat, in 2D we reduce the light tones and shadows towards the mid-tones as much as possible. Or even more, perhaps reducing the existing gradient in the mid-tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><b>To create depth in an image<\/b>For more 3D, we'll do the opposite. We're going to pull the light mid-tones towards the whites, and the shadows towards the blacks. And so increase the gradient in the mid-tones... in other words, improve the contrast of the image by creating a wider range in the mid-tones. Technically, there are many ways of doing this...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-bcaa60d\" id=\"1-quest-ce-quune-photo\" data-block-id=\"bcaa60d\"><style>.stk-bcaa60d .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">DODGE and BURN in Lightroom, On1 Photo RAW or Capture One<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-0ebbf06 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"0ebbf06\"><style>.stk-0ebbf06 {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f2f5f7) !important;}.stk-0ebbf06:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-6, #f2f5f7) !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-0ebbf06-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-9f8041e\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"9f8041e\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-9f8041e {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 66.7% !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-9f8041e-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-9f8041e-inner-blocks\">\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">I think this is the quickest way to apply the DODGING and BURNING techniques.

With a grey darker than 50% luminance, you darken and with a lighter grey, you lighten. At this point, you might ask, what's the point of this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Well, there are 2 advantages with this method: the first is that you can always go back and paint with a 50% luminance grey which will cancel out the light and dark you've done on your layer, and only where you want. Secondly, you can use a colour other than grey to subtly apply colour to your image. Here for the \"\u00a0<strong>dodging colour<\/strong>\" you must use a colour with more than 50% luminance and for \"\u00a0<strong>colour burning<\/strong>\u00a0\"Less than 50%. We're getting closer to painters' techniques here. (And you can always play with opacity and brush flow in Photoshop's options bar.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><i><b>A reminder:<\/b><\/i> soft light mode allows you to maintain the contrast of the overall image, while the grey layer is invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-4258f2c\" id=\"1-quest-ce-quune-photo\" data-block-id=\"4258f2c\"><style>.stk-4258f2c .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text stk-block-heading--use-theme-margins\">Dodging and Burning in Photoshop using luminance masks?<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Let's say you're using the Photoshop panel <a href=\"https:\/\/goodlight.us\/panels-and-videos-french.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TKActions RapidMask 2 by Tony Kuyper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">With Rapid Mask 2, you can create a selection, hide it but keep it activated (ctrl or cmd H), and you can paint through this selection using the greyscale technique described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Doing this through selection is a refinement of Dodging and Burning, because with Rapid Mask 2, you make a selection of a range of pixel luminance to darken and lighten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">This has the effect of darkening and lightening the areas where you are painting with the selected luminance range back-limited. In this way, your DODGING and BURNING becomes very subtle, natural, invisible but real. (comparing before and after).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Also, remember, you can use this technique, with the brush with one colour, over a layer of 50% grey in soft light mode to apply a subtle colour effect and as you now know, through a luminance mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><b>Don't forget that you can play with the opacity of the layer and the opacity and flow of
