We start by looking at the Burn tool, which darkens areas of an image, and the Dodge tool, which lightens them. Best practice is for you to use a soft-edge brush and a low exposure setting for subtle effects, I demonstrate these techniques on a plain blue background and a basic portrait downloaded from Pixabay. We then look at how the Burn tool increases color saturation and darkens the image, while the Dodge tool desaturates and lightens it. I then show you practical applications, such as enhancing makeup on a portrait by darkening eyelids and lips with the Burn tool and whitening teeth with the Dodge tool. I also demonstrate using these tools on a layer mask to enhance image edges. Plus we look at the range option (shadows, midtones, highlights) in the tools' settings, noting its subtle impact.
