I never thought of doing this before. Thank you.

Great thanks! I have learned a great deal from your videos thank you.

Thanks for introducing me to this panel. I found it under the Window Drop Down Menu. I see the + option where you can type in the action but, how does one actully add the action step? Would be helpful if these steps are included in the vid. Thanks to anyone who replies & I'll try the PS help menu later.

That was a very useful tip thank you.

Is this a photo of Yours or is this a photo used for Your tutorial ??? ThankYou !!!!! :) :) :)

GREAT !!!! ThankYou !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use luminosity masking in Capture One Pro for precise d and b.

Sandra, I enjoyed your video on an alternative way for dodging and burning! Thank you - very informative!

Thank you for your videos. Truth is : you don't need the layer to be grey. Transparent layer works as well. I guess grey layer just helps to see where you're painting.

Dont like the use of AI...but love your other videos using only PS.

Thank you I love creating the whimsy and quirky imagery!

The techniques are great but the photograph subjects and settings are stunning

Thank you for introducing me to an alternate way to dodge & burn. Respectfully, may I offer one little change, to provide a bit more flexibility. Instead of turning down your opacity for your brush, leave that opacity at 100%, and turn down your FLOW to around 5% (or whatever works for you). This way, you can add more of the desired effect with additional brush strokes. You can still scale down the effect with the Layer Opacity. Thank you, again!

Thank you, I am happy to have found you. Love your style of teaching. Now to go play…

Wish you did a video on how graded that image.

Great video! Learning about "Blur-Average" was an excellent tip.

Great video! Subscribed!

I started using Photoshop with V1 managing overseas printing centers for the US Information Agency prior to from 1974 -77 I worked in the National Geographic Photomechanical Lab where I made halftones, duotones, CYM tritone sepia reproductions of Edwin Curtis Sepia prints and 4/C separations on large process (copy) cameras with contact screens and litho films which are the analog methods of image manipulation the LEVELS adjustment with middle slider to shift the shadows, highlights and midtones is based on. The original dodge and burn tools in Photoshop just added / subtracted value (+/- black) not hue and saturation and the results looked dreadful so what I started doing around V4 or V5 when adjustment layers and ‘actions’ were introduced was to write an action which duplicated the background layer 3x, adding black filled masks the changing the mode of the layers to screen (to dodge), multiply (to burn in) and soft light (to increase contrast). I’d then use the eraser tool (or white bush - both had the same effect to open the mask) to apply them selectively to areas the move the opacity sliders from 100% to 0% for a after/before look by eye and usually dial back to around 70-80% What screen and multiply modes do is reduce the RGB values equally. So if a color is 128, 64, 32 and the screen mask changed its value 50% it would wind up 64,32,16 What I’d do as a WB reference is create a layer and fill a rectangle with 128, 128, 128 on a new layer I could use to compare with the neutrals in the image when taking in warmer / darker or dealing with tint biases like the dull gray pallor on skin cause by green light filter through trees in any forest portrait

You can achieve the exact same results using a blank layer. Using a grey layer just adds complications.

very good, thanks !

Not seen tutorials like this before, great job thanks

Brilliant thanks

Thanks everyone for your comments and support 😊 plotting and planning more tips

I love this idea, had not thought of this way of working. I really like what you did with the image.

Makes no difference if you use a grey layer or blank layer. Both on soft light yields same. On blank layer you can use eraser, on grey layer you would need to use 50% grey brush to use eraser.

Finally! A great tutorial regarding Dodge & Burn without annoying music or sound effects or screaming. Correct speed of speech. A good and profound explantion I was looking form quite some time. Subscribed. Thank you.

Thank you, and thank you more for teaching one of the oldest tools used in the original darkrooms ; dodge and burn . The "new" digital editing tools seem to get more attention when D&B can do so much so gently . Yes, I'm one of the old converted who learnt basic D&B in a darkroom 😊. Little bits your subscribers may find useful . You are welcome to use them also ; after all someone taught me . I do need to revisit your actual grey layer that I stopped using , and I still use just the one D&B layer which is so (maybe too) easy ----- yep; lazy too. I take the old B&W D&B a bit further by using colours instead of white and black. This is a great way too add slight patches of colour to a black and white image , or a little extra colour to a dull colour image. D&B can add some saturation to some colours ; however painting in on another desaturated layer can reduce it . Maybe you know a better way .

This was a great tutorial Sandra. Thank you. I will certainly start doing my dodging and burning this way in future 😊

Very good video, clear and focused on the subject. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial. I always avoided using the dodge and burn tools, so I feel using this technique is going to be beneficial to my workflow. Thanks again.

How is a gray layer different from using a mask on the image layer?

Thank you for sharing your experience; I will starting using your method. Out of curiosity, if I add a coloring action on top, would that affect that grey layer(s)?

I like what you're doing, it's very interesting. The gray layer is nice, but I like doing this kind of thing with the new lightroom masks.

Thank you for this video.

Is there a UA-cam by you on colour grading prior to sculpting the light.

Very helpful, thank you💯

Love the lighting on this story!

Thanks Sandra great advice

I might sound a little croaky on this one :) finally getting over a cold :) have fun watching the Shoe House

thanks for sharing these great videos, very informative and insightful. i have a question i hope you can help with. In PS, when creating images using layers, selections and masks, the file size quickly and dramatically increases, sometimes to 2-4GB. That's OK, but when i have to export the image for a comp and the max long edge is say 1080, the export image file size might be 400kb. Have you experienced this and do you know how you can export the image to the max long edge but have a bigger size (e.g. 2gb)

Awesome video

Great sharing

Have you watched the 2nd tutorial on Conceptual Storytelling? It is titled Sorrow!

Thankyou so much. ITS so fascinating what you do and how you do it. Where do you get the pictures from the girls and animals? In your other work? Is it AI? I will join your session in July! I am looking for it! Thankyou for all!!

Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it 😍

Beautiful work and great tutorial! Thank you!

Thank you for this. Very informative. Parts of PS I have never even looked at will now get some attention.
