Dodge and burn are two tools in Photoshop that allow you to lighten or darken specific areas of an image.
The Dodge tool is used to lighten areas of the image, such as highlights or skin tones. You can adjust the strength and size of the tool to control how much you want to lighten the image.
The Burn tool is used to darken areas of the image, such as shadows or dark spots. Like the Dodge tool, you can adjust the strength and size of the tool to control how much you want to darken the image.
Both tools can be found in the toolbar under the “Tools” menu. To use the tools, simply select the area you want to adjust and brush over it. Be careful not to overdo it, as too much dodging or burning can result in an unnatural or over-processed image.
You can also use the dodge and burn tools in different modes such as mid-tones, highlights, and shadows. This will allow you to target specific tones of your image and make adjustments accordingly.
Overall, the Dodge and Burn tools are powerful tools that allow you to make precise adjustments to the tone of your images and are an essential part of any retouching workflow.
