You're very welcome.

suruha2306 You're welcome 😊 And thanks for your comment!

Always fun to see these Core Principals for digital artwork laid out so cleanly and well! I do use the Curves method, but I am still old school enough that my first reach is still for the original burn/dodge tool (its too much like many tools I use in 3DCoat w/the toggling to be easily set aside)

Thanks. I'm glad that you like it. There is no like a strict rule about it. Usually you want to make highlights bit more bright and shadows darker. But you can also use this technique to reshape the light.

@@NemanjaSekulic what is the meaning of reshape the light...and can i make dark area bright in the compositing with dodge tool ,is that logic?the photo will not be fake,and you said that there is no rule of use dodge and burn,but in the face i see some makeup artist using some area to dark it and some area to bright it(contour) ,is there any rule for the face...and thanks again

I have lot of examples how to blend images together. Just watch my tutorials.

You're welcome :)

You're welcome :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks my friend. And thank you for your suggestion. Will think about that for a future one for sure!

I have a tutorial about the difference between them. Check it out.

Thanks 😉

I clipped it to affect only the ball and not the background. Just to have that as an idea when you working on your images.

You're welcome 😊. Sometimes different methods work a little bit different, maybe faster, or more precise. But it is all based on experience. So just practice and have fun.

Blake Hinds Thanks 😊 👍🏻

Thanks!

John X You're welcome

using curves you brighten the ENTIRE image (or burning you use curves to darken the whole image) then reversing it makes this change completely hidden by the adjustment layer mask (AL being curves in this instance). Using a soft round brush you can then paint with white on the mask which will REVEAL the curves layer in the specific areas you paint. This is why you use 2 separate layers for the dodging and the burning, so you have full control over both parts of the process. it's just using a standard layer mask to reveal /hide something, only in this instance you are using it to only REVEAL the curves layer (as opposed to hiding/revealing another image). if you know layer masks used to create basic compositions this is the same thing. I hope this helps

Hvala na podršci!
