PHOTOSHOP DODGE & BURN TUTORIAL – @anitasadowska

Is it overkill to use Frequency Separation on the skin as well or is it just a preference to use either or?

I prefer your method over frequency separation thank you so much for this video.

it was truly awesome , thank you

Your talant!

Thank you Anita!

I love these tutorials!! Seeing your work flow is such a huge help when editing and practicing with my own photos.

You're so down to earth – pleasure to watch you and listen to you. And thanks for a very informative and good tutorial!

wow now i know how to use dodge and burn usualy just add some presets but im glad i learned something new today

I could never get this to click, as to when to do it and where. I've watched countless videos from Lynda to facebook groups…and this is the only video that I understood what and more importantly where I am supposed to use this tool. Thank you so much! My work is already on the next level just from this simple video.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you.

I know it's an old tutorial but I will post a question on the off chance that you read old videos' posts. I see that you lighten the highlights on the chick and darken the eyebrows at the same time. Did you do it on the same layer (layer 1), or did you switch from "Layer 1" to "dodge&burn" layer when darkening the eyebrows? Thank you, great work.

I am so inspired! Thank you so much Anita, it was a logical, clear and constructive tutorial. keep it up!!

Thank you for sharing this tutorial! It really helped me understand the procedure.
I got one question.. When I was brushing the whites over the dark eye bags ( and because they are very dark I have to go over again a few times ) it looks very yellowish / glowy? How do I prevent this ?

You're fantastic in retouching. Though I would love to see a retouch video of some really really bad skin. Like 16 year old skin full of puberty. Would it be possible to get that to this level?

thanks ani

Dziekuję. Próbuję kombinować z różnymi technikami retuszu skóry. Twój mi się podoba. Czy masz jakiś sposób na stonowanie świecącej skóry na czole i nosie?

Wow Anita, Im amazed that you did that with a track pad.. very articulate with those fingers!!

Great chanel !!! I feel very motivated because of you :))dziękuje <3

Ok there is something i am not getting, you created a layer and called it D and B, then used a white brush, then you created another layer , same options, used a white brush but called it Highlights and shadows….so when you paint on both you are adding dodging /highlighting basically?? the two layers are the exact same. what am i missing here?I do not see you burning/darkening, only dodging/brightening….so why 2 layers same options.? thanks

i followed your steps, and the dark areas around the eyes/skin that i brushed over became more white and did not match the rest of the face color. what am i doing wrong? the photo was taken outdoors on a sunny day if that makes a difference… Thank you for your time

Great video thank you I feel more confident now dodging and burning

Thank you so much Anita! This is def going in my saved files. I love how clearly you explained it and I love the black and white layer to guide you as a beginner. I've been a big Lightroom only users for a long
Time and only using dodge and burn tools in photoshop. This creating a layer thing helps a lot more in not making it so intense!

Just curious, why did you makes a dodge and burn layer then you did a highlights and shadow one instead of combining them all together?

Also I found when I did it, it made it too soft looking as well. Do you end up doing s sharpen tool after sometimes?

Thanks again!

thanks for a detailed video, but i think you should have mentioned clearly when you switch from white brush to black brush to ease understanding newbies like me. You can still do this i think in youtube annotations perhaps.

You are a great find!! Thanks for this. You brought my work to another level.
