How to Dodge and Burn in Photoshop [2023 Updated Skin Retouching Tutorial]

Huge question!!! Have you used an iPad for any of these

I just love your videos, simple but SO informative. Thank you so much!!

I would like to paste two images that have common portions. Is there a command to overlay common areas? Thank you.

Too much talking, not much doing. Boring tutorial. Smh.

Excellent. ❤❤❤

Great tutorial, narrated at a pace that is easy to absorb - is there an erase brush to restore areas that maybe have been taken too far?

Thank you for your information💖

Good work bro❤️

which one is better for quality skin spot healing or healing brush ?

Hello, great video. May I ask you, how you decide how far you drag up or down the curve for either the dodge or burn layer. Many thanks

thank you for learning videos
what does transfer do in the brush options?

I never comment, but here I had too! Thanks a lot for this very clear explanation. I watched a lot of different videos about dodge & burn and FINALY i get it! Thank you!

Wow you explained it way better than retouching academy free training. I'm new to dodge and burn and as a videographer I completely understand
the highlight and shadow blending techniques after watching this tutorial.
thank you very much. 🙏🏽

Thank you so much Kayleigh for putting your knowledge and making this great tutorial. I was looking for a simple and to the point explanation about this topic and I found you 🙏🏻 greetings from Colombia

Sometimes when you are dodging and burning, there is a slight color shift in those areas that you've d&b'd. Is there a "best" technique to fix that?

I'm so glad I found this channel.. so intuitive.. thanks alot

Hey what camera did u use

So happy I found your channel, awesome content I really enjoyed this video. Perfect level of retouching IMO, you're fantastic!

thank you for video!!))

do you use a tablet or a mouse to retouch? <3 you're amazing thank you as always

feel so annoying but you are the only techer that explains things well. I see that many retouchers desaturate areas that were dodged and burned, with a clipping mask. What is your opinion on this?

Kayleigh, this is a brilliantly simple dodge and burn technique. I’m going to move to this for my landscape work. I think it will be much more natural than HDR.

thank you! do you do any sharpening?

Thank you ! you need a pop filter on the mic

Thanks for this. I bought your Domestika course and it taught me a lot and this a really good update. I’m so glad that the trend is moving toward more gentle retouching.

mine says "your layer is empty" how can i fix that?

Thank you so much for making these — lol I did not know how to do this. You’re the best - again thanks

Why don't you use mixer brush tool for dodge and burn? Why the normal brush?

Thank you so much Kayleigh for the tips and another awesome tutorial! I learnt a lot! God bless you!

Colour grading please!

The monitor is a dell? haha

Beautiful!!! the best way to retouch skin, i prefer this by far over frequency separation. I started retouching your technique after watching some of your older videos. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Thank you for sharing your techniques. It's interesting and useful. Have you tried doing any of this in Capture One? There are dodging and burning tools there too. Do you find those to be less precise?

very satisfying.

Wow, that’s a super long-winded way of setting up your dodge and burn layers. Do you not like the grey layer set to overlay and painting with b&w? That’s so much better way imho, since you don’t have to switch layers and it’s incredibly simple to press x to swap between b&w. Also, no mask is necessary.

Please make one video for color grading❤

Wouldn’t you do the clone softening before D&B?
