Burn and Dodge Technique

Last quarter in Photo Imaging III we learn how to burn and dodge an image without destroying the image.
Here are the steps you'll have to take to burn and doge the images.

Step 1. open up the image you want
step 2. go to layer–>new—–> layer—> then name your layer—> change color to gray—> change mode to “overlay”—>click on “fill with overlay-neutral color (50% gray)
step 3. use the paint tool to darken or lighten the area wanted —>use the black filter to darken image and use the white filter to lighten image——->use about 10% opacity while using the brush only, never use it at 100%
if you darken of lighten something too much, do not delete anything, just use the simple tool and then simple the gray and paint over it to normal again.

very easy but just a lot of paying attention and etc
