In this week’s episode, we discuss a forgotten editing skill that creates staggering detail in Lightroom. Throughout my years of photography experience, nothing has had as dramatic of an impact on my photos as that of Dodging & Burning. Being able to shape light, create three dimension and detail, along with directing the viewers attention with a single editing skill is incredible! I really can't overstate the importance and benefits of this amazing skill. And, in this video, I'll show you an easy to follow method for dodging and burning your landscape photos in Lightroom. I hope you enjoy this week's video and as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

This relates to one of the early lessons I got when trying to compare my photos to what I See in youtube. UA-cam photos are 90% post edited, 10% what the camera captured. So all those comments "oh great composition; great capture of light"... after a while, you realize are meaningless... they basically mean "great use of Lightroom". Dont get me wrong, it is liberating and democraticizing as everyone (or many more people) can produce a good image thanks to post-editing.
I remember dodging and burning with my hands standing at the Graflex enlarger in the darkroom.
Thanks, I can't believe that I never knew you could copy and duplicate a mask. That alone was worth the price of the video. 🙂
Love it - thanks for letting me know!
Found your channel today , I’m learning a lot great tips
Thanks for the tips to help speed up workflow!
It's a sad day I don't learn something new - how to duplicate the filter. Good man !!
Thanks for the video. The only thing missing was a comparison of dodge/burn to other methods of achieving similar results (dehaze, contrast, whites/black adjustment...). Thanks.
Agree!
Love your videos Mark. Wondering if just using dehaze, highlights/shadows, or contrast would get similar quicker results? Or did you use those already, then dodge & burn at the end? Thanks.
Terrific video Mark...now I finally understand the terms dodging and burning 😎
Love the tips as always Mark, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Really appreciate the simplicity of your videos. Allows me to follow along and really implement what Im learning. Much appreciated!
You're very welcome!
Beautiful finished product mate, enjoyed this a lot
Thanks a million Paul!
I remember one of your videos about this when I first started following you.... I still use the tips today! Dodge and Burn are definitely the game changers!
Thanks again for all the helpful tips!
Happy to hear this!
Thanks
Great video! This trick will make a huge difference on some of my photos. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to do it and thanks for checking it out!
Nice video again with lots of good tips...as usual.
Great to hear - thank you!
Another great one, Mark!
Always appreciate you Roger!
Love these tips, thank you Mark! I use a DYI preset with Dodging and Burning radial masks with luminosity masks attached to them. That’s to avoid accidentally dodging and burning the wrong areas, as these are often so close to each other.
Great to hear you're enjoying them!
I’ve been using radial masks etc for years but this has opened my eyes to so many new possibilities!
Love it!
Thank you
Thank YOU!
Never heard the term. excellent lesson!
Thanks so much!
Great Video
Thanks Martin!
Great video, as always. And I always love to see photos of Hawaii on the screen ;-)
Thanks so much!
Great video Mark, almost all photos benefit from dodge/burn!
Thanks so much Ken!
I have learned how to use tools in Photo Works by watching you. I am to old to tackle Lightroom lol. I don’t see any videos for Lightroom fixing up portraits? Love you videos.
Thanks so much Charles!
Hi Mark, very useful tips. I was just wondering if you can get the same result by using the "Contrast" slider in the Basic panel>
The main point of the dodge and burn approach is that it focuses on local edits. The Contrast slider is for global edits applied to the entire image all at once. That being said, you can mask locally and use contrast, but that ultimately just spreads out the highlights and blacks, doesn't necessarily dodge or burn. This is more like painting by numbers. Very useful and fun skill to practice on all types of images not just landscapes.
Thank you again for the excellent tips. Would it not be easier to use range mask in this case, dodge the light areas and burn the dark areas ?
Glad to do it! You can certainly overlay range masks on top of the filters to take the refinement to another level
Your dodging and burning sounds very interesting. I have to really think it over. In the past you have offered free courses. I have entered my email and never received anything.
Enjoy your video, Mark, had a curiosity why did you not take your histogram contrast up before you started dodging and burning?
Mark love this but I have a question, would this not be easier using color range to dodge & burn?
If you cropped the image what is the crop size? Or is it the image size for medium format?
Thanks Mark. I purchased the 5 day deal (3 years in ago). I subscribe to multiple photographers. But I chose to purchase through you because I appreciate your preaching style and bonus offerings. Thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge and wisdom about photography and processing.
Thanks so much Thomas!!
I recently got a new computer, and for some reason when I use a radial gradient the controls to manipulate the size and location don’t pop up. Does anyone have any tips?
How do you know what you want it to look like?
As a colorblind photographer, my biggest take-away from this vid is that you can change the mask color 😆 omg. Also: I'm sure there is a keyboard combo to drag-copy masks, like alt click dragging things in photoshop, so you don't need to use a context menu 👍
Awesome to hear you got something helpful out of the video!
Wouldn't it be easier to use luminosity masks instead of radial gradients.
I don’t use Lightroom but do use photoshop can I do this in photoshop I think so but I don’t know how!😢
You sure can!
Use camera raw filter …. It’s essentially Lrc in Ps
