In this video tutorial I go over some very simple techniques for dodging and burning your landscape photography in Photoshop. These techniques are what I use for all of my own images, to enhance the composition and highlight elements of interest.

BURNNNN baby burn! ?
great tutorial! dodging and burning is one of my favorite tools to use! makes such a difference!
Thank you brother
finally somebody explained this the best way. thanks mate. you are amazing
Curious why you just didn't use your luminosity mask?
Amazing sir thank you for ur valuable time
This is so informative! Just what I needed, thank you!
Great video, thanks!
Thanks a lot for this video! Amazing shots
Hey, what a great video. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next video.
thanks !, great tutorial:)
Thanks Michael! this is a great tutorial and it will help me with my editing for sure! Just an off topic question: How do I avoid the "starburst" effect when shooting the sun at f16 or similar in sunset /dawn photos? That's something I'm struggling with because I'd like to achieve the soft glow around the sun, like the one in your sunset picture. So, do I need to mask the "spikes" out?
Thanks again, looking forward to more tips!
thank you for the video.
I did not fully understand the difference of transparent layers and the curves. Looks like effect the same. What are the cons and pros of each technique? Probably it will be good idea to talk about pros and cons of similar techniques.
First time watching your tutorials, well explained. Thanks for your support.
Thank you dude!
This was such a good explanation of using the white/black masks to selectively choose which areas you apply the curve adjustment to. Thank you!
Thanks Michael, love these tutorials.
Love this man! Do you dodge and burn after editing the original image in Lightroom?
Hello Michael, thanks for sharing this very helpful. At the beginning, when I choose soft light after creating a layer, the image goes very contrasted while in your auto, image does not change. Any clue ? thanks
Very informative…thanks.
Love watching you edit! Thank you!!
Thanks for explaining the detail(s) on your PS & LR adjustments – it is very helpful for those of us who aren't power users.
Very helpful thanks Michael
Very clean tutorial Michael ??! I would like too see a tutorial about color grading photographs. About some different color editing techniques in photoshop & ps lightroom, about complimentary colors and maybe some other tips that can be useful about using colors you know. ??
Great and informative video Michael. I have two questions: 1: Is the second photo a composite or did you shout it in one shot. If so which settings did you use? 2nd: In Lightroom we have the brush which can also be used to dodge and burn. Photoshop seems more advanced with the color selection and blending modes. Is dodging and burning better implemented in Photoshop? Thank you and keep up the great tutorials. They really help!
Brilliant
WTF IS IT WITH ALL THEM LITTLE WINDOWS SO CONFUSING
I was using the dodge and burn tools vs this – with the exposure settings – do you feel this is a more accurate way of controlling the highlight and shadow – vs the regular approach – I definitely like the idea of separate layers that can then be adjusted vs dodging and burning directly on a layer of the image
This is not dodge and burn…
love this!You make it easy . Can you consider a tutorial on filters w long exposures, and your preferred algorithm for setting the new shutter speed, with filter on, preferably one that is not dependent on using tables or apps that one can easily calculate in one's head, and then blending different images for water movement ,thank you!
Have BKT blending Tutorial? Master
Very in-depth. Thank you!
Is the wacom table easier on the hand?
Michael, do you ever make an action out of your dodging and burning and then batch process them to produce a time lapse of an image sequence?
Obviously the computer would take a long time to produce the intermediate files but it would give them an edge. Just curious
I see Faroe islands i click 😉
Thank you!!! It's very helpful. Looking forward to more teaching~
Great and useful video, I just realized I have a lot to practice now on Photoshop. Thank you Michael!
awesome!
Glad to see you use the TK actions panels in real life…
A bit off topic. Would you consider doing a video about how you organize and store your equipment as a whole? I am struggling with too little organization. (Sometimes, I order something I already have.)
Great tips, really well explained. Looking forward to more tips!
sorry mate but they look exactly the same start to finish .. waste of time bloke , what a crock that was , dear oh dear
thank you it is really helpfull
Hey Michael, big fan of your images. I'm surprised that you don't use the pen pressure feature. That's the biggest reason that finally got me to try out a tablet for editing (which I can't live without now). Mind letting me know why you don't use pen pressure for opacity?
Michael – great video! I do it a bit differently – new layer, fill with 50% gray, then set blend mode to soft light. Pick Dodge or Burn from the menu and use my pen from there. Curious as to the pros and cons of each technique.
