The Advanced Dodging and Burning Live Event
Dodging & Burning: Advanced Concepts
A few years back I created a course on Dodging and Burning that included the primary methods for dodging and burning. We discussed how to dodge and burn with brushes, with curves, and with a 50% gray layer. I thought I had taught it all, but as time will always tell, I have learned so much more and am ready to share it with you.
In the second installment to the Dodging and Burning series, you will learn some advanced dodging and burning concepts. We will discuss the use of color in dodging and burning and will even create some custom brushes that you can use to make beautifully blended dodging and burning effects. This course also includes a panel for Photoshop CC. You will love these advanced concepts and the new and improved Dodging and Burning extension!

Dodge and Burn for the Win!
I took this photo in October of 2017, I knew it had potential, but I could not for the life of me make it work. It wasn't until I went back and edited it with the Dodge and Burn Pro Panel that I was able to make my vision come to life.

Brushes are the Key
Choosing a brush may seem like a simple task for Dodging and Burning, but did you know that your brush can make or break your efforts? Over the last several years I have been experimenting with the perfect brushes for Dodging and Burning and what I found is that the most natural brushes are the most effective. I will teach you how to build these powerful brushes in the Advanced course.

Unpaid endorsements, just pure enthusiasm

“Blake, you are a damn genius. I feel sorry for all those photographers out there who simply use Lightroom to make simple adjustments on their images. You have given me tools that have completely changed how I work and the results I am getting are amazing. My only regret is that I threw away many images that I now realize I could have done great things with now that I have these tools. Also happy with this Dodge and Burn tool because I can now trash a number of dodge and burn actions that have been cluttering my actions folder.”

“Fabulous course. Beautiful panel. Precise control.

“Another absolutely mind-blowing tutorial, Blake.
I don’t know where you get all this knowledge from but I am so pleased you are able to share it.
Thank you so much.”

“Wow! Thank you once again. You continue to provide such helpful panels and come up with such great ideas for image processing. It is enormous fun to follow you and use what you give us. You provide excellent value for money and the clearest teaching on the web. I watch other teachers sometimes. Some are very clear and some have great panels but no others have both. Before I found you Photoshop was impenetrable. Now I am using layers and masks, blurs, blend ifs etc and I understand what I am doing! I never thought I would get here.”

“The best I have seen on that topic.
The new panel is really powerful.I learned a lot about installing brushes, save them.
I compared the normal brush with the “3” one and it is phenomenal the difference, very subtle retouching, but efficient.”

“With my landscape photos, I have needed to be very careful with the soft-edged brushes I have been using. With your Dodge and Burn Pro Panel and the available Texture Brushes, it is going to make my Dodging and Burning much easier. It’s going to take some time to get used to the different ways to Dodge and Burn. Different photographs will different brushes and colors. Thanks so much.”

“Jeez, Blake … this course was absolutely AWESOME!!! I learned more with this than I have in the past two months struggling with trying to understand more about dodging and burning successfully with digital images. I come from a background of dodging and burning in the darkroom as well and agree with you that it was a pain in the butt. But, now I’m finally beginning to understand how this works with digital images and your palette certainly looks like it will be a huge boon to making the process so much more user friendly.
Can’t wait to run it through some paces.
Thanks so very much for taking the time to make this course and provide the palette and brushes.
You are truly one awesome guy and a hell of an instructor.”
