How to dodge and burn in Luminar NEO the "right" way. Dodge and burn is a technique for controlling the brightness values through our photos enabling us to sculpt the light to our choosing. This technique was developed in the darkroom and is still used in high end retouching today. If you don't know dodge and burn you NEED to add it to your photo editing skillset!

Although NEO has had the addition of a dodge and burn tool since this video was recorded, due to its tendency to over saturate I would STILL recommend the approach laid out in this video. What's your experience of the dodge and burn tool?
It would be awesome if you did a tutorial as to where you lighten/darken.
G'day Anthony
I've another method which I D&B.
I often use the develop tool and of course masking. In the develope tools, use contrast, shadows, black and white points. I also use the curves in the develope tools to control further.

This INSANELY good! It's such a useful feature for photo editing and the way you explain and demonstrate it is so clear. I watch other instructors and your content / delivery / humor is without doubt the best around. Keep doing what you do!
Awesome, thank you!
Would love to see a video about how and where you choose to darken/lighten for portraits and landscapes.
Super useful demo, Anthony. Many thanks!! Would love to see a D&B vid specific to landscapes sometime, if possible :)
And I'd like to make one! I'll see what I can do!
I know the tutorial was not aimed at fixing the line in the background but you did attempt it. Perhaps just do the change before doing D/B by using Erase and Click>Shift>Click with small brush to then remove the line and fill the space with the b/g of the rest of the studio b/g. Just a thought worth mentioning to users of NEO.
Finally, someone just explained what dodge and burn mean to me. And yes, I like technique 2. Thank you, Anthony.
Another great video full of tips and tricks. Thank you!
I would very much like to hear about the clone and stamp tool 😉
I have been using neo for a few weeks now but didn’t realise you could do so much with it! Thank you for these tutorials really helpful!!
That’s really great. Thanks a million.
You're very welcome!
Thank you Anthony for this amazing tutorial. Look forward to trying this in the future. Got a few shoots to do soon.
Thanks Anthony for another great video!
Nicely done, thanks for the demo.
My pleasure Kit! 😀
I love your tips and techniques. A video on clone and stamping in Neo would be nice layers without stamping is a pain.
Impressive
Great explanation for these techniques
Thanks! 🙏😀
So, I not only watched this video twice but also applied your advice to an actual portrait, and the result was outstanding! Thanks again for sharing such pro tips!
I use this opportunity to make a request: you use the blend mode of layers. The different types of modes are pretty obscure and not very well explained in the Luminar notice. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a tutorial on these options?
MrT Once again I really enjoyed your technique 2 to the subject of burning and dodging. Your usual easy to understand approach made this tutorial like your others very effective. thanks a million. Please I will appreciate full and detailed tutorial on this subject for both portrait and Landscape
Many thanks Kareem!
A great video idea (for me) would be what all the various mask versions do and when to use them. Multiply, screen, lighten, etc.
Super tips! Thank you!
Great tips must better than d and b, thankyou
Thanks for another great video. Hmm, do you get tire of hearing that? I like Step #2 best.
Not at all Henry. I'm an artist. My ego is fragile 😅
While I've used this before, I still expect Neo to get D&B as L4 did. Hopefully, its on Skylum's to-do list -Elaine
I'm sure it will have the tool added. I'll still be using this method though 😀
Hi Anthony! Very interesting, if difficult method of dodging and burning - but I still prefer the old 'Dodge and Burn' tools. 😾 Yes, Luminar has portrait tools, which I use, especially to 'clean up' poor complexions, like acne and other ugly spots! 😺 By the way, did you manage to receive the photos I emailed to you? Regards. Felix the Cat. 🐱
Hi Felix! 👋 Thanks. I haven't been into that secondary email recently, I'll make sure I do now though! 😃
Thank you I really appreciated this instruction. You asked for ideas on editing. Living in the UK and doing mainly bird photography I find I am using very high ISO (6400 on my Panasonic G9) to get usable shutter speeds. So how about editing a photo with significant noise using Neo. I personally use Topaz Denoise AI as I do not find Neo's noise reduction works as well as I would hope. This is more than likely that I don't really know how to use the tool correctly. I am an amateur in both photography and editing. But really feel I'm leaning from your fine videos.
Thanks. I think you're definitely in the right place with Topaz DeNoise. It's the best there is for dealing with high iso.
I appreciate the suggestion!
Another great video Anthony. I couldn't find the info on the tablet you recommend. Which one is it, and are all the features accessible with Luminar Neo?
Thanks Anthony
Hi John, it's in the video description usually found beneath the vid. Sometimes you need to click the "show more" option. Anyway, Here's the link: amzn.to/33mJxwN (best brand and best size and pressure sensitivity etc for photo editing IMHO)
Great technic, I wish Luminar fix an A.I expansion for dodge and burn A.I just like the software Retoch4Me does. To get rid off smal imperfections In skintones.
Anthony: Does pressure sensitivity work on Neo with the Wacom tablet?
Hi John, Unfortunately currently in NEO it's not registering the pressure. We get the mapping but no pressure sensitivity. I hope this will be addressed in future updates.
Hi thank you for the video lessons. Please kindly let me know how to add new same layer ? I can not open it from my RAW original photo, so I saved it as JPEG and load . Is this the right way ?
Hi Huk. My layers were opened as raw copies so I'm not sure why that's not working for you. However, a jpeg version used as screen or multiply will be more than adequate to be used for dodge and burn. 🔥
@@AnthonyTurnham thank you
I will try some setting
I sure can not open raw file
So i always have to save it as JPG
Please Tell me will Luminar comes to iPad Pro?
Hi mate. I'm not sure that it will...
However we still need a clone and stamp tool!
I have news on that... I'm taking time with my family at the moment, but I'll try and get a vid out about it next week.
Hey I am a photographer in New Zealand would like to follow your business can I know the name plz
Hiya. Nowadays I just work under my own name, but the trading name is SNAP! Photography. I've also got a landscape photography print business www.newzealandscapes.co.nz
Can't follow you...too fast...sorry
pls talk less & bring it to the point but beside this: thanks
Thanks for the feedback Alexander. To help me create more streamlined content for you, just wondering which bits I should have left out or not discussed? I didn't feel like there was any "fluff" or "filler" in this one but I could be wrong. Cheers.
