Dodging And Burning With Curves
If you enjoy posts like this, please support my work and support independent photography tutorials like this.
I find I’ve been processing in black and white a lot recently. Here’s another dodge and burn technique you can use with curves. In this video, I show the technique using ON1 Effects, although you can do this in any photo editing tool with a maskable curves tool. I’ll reach for curves when I don’t need the precision of a luminosity mask, yet need more control than a localized exposure adjustment.
