hey what's up guys it's Orrin with focus by design and today we're going to be
touching on dodging and burning and photo retouching so let's dive into it
as you guys see here we have our beautiful model and let's talk a little
bit about dodging and burning now when photo retouching it's very important to
be able to bring out those deep shadows in those highlights in the face without
coming out with a blotchy a blotchy outcome which you know seems to be a big
issue with a lot of people when they're first starting out how to learn dodging
and burning so I'm gonna show you guys how to do it because there's several
ways to do it but the way that I'm gonna show you guys today is with using
opacity layers and different techniques that are going to get you to the point
of success so let's go ahead and dive into it let me go ahead and hold command
J duplicate it twice I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna make this invisible the layer
at the top invisible and I'm gonna go down here now we want to go ahead and
really bring out the highlight of the skin you see how we have all this white
area over here that can really look good if we if we blend it well so what we're
gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and find the we're gonna go ahead and put
this on screen to really make those on those exposed areas pop so you see what
now her skin is just glowing so what we want to do here is we want to go ahead
and hit hit the layer mask and we want to go ahead and apply this screen layer
to the layer below now we're gonna go over to image and I'm going to go to
apply image I'm gonna keep it on normal but we also want to make sure that we
hit invert now what invert does is it applies the layer to the layer below
without OB being an overwhelming factor that makes sense so I'll show you them
I'm sure you what I'm talking about right here now it looks like it's soft
on the skin so if I take it off and put it back on you see the difference
there's it looks and it looks incredible if we wanted to we could leave it like
this but we're just gonna take it a step further and
really bring out those shadows and smooth the skin so what we're gonna do
next is we're gonna make this top layer active and then we're gonna desaturate
the image so we're gonna go over to adjustments desaturate boom now we have
a black-and-white we have a black-and-white image and this is what
we're going to use to bring out those deep shadows now we're gonna go over to
the we're gonna go over to the filter filter section go down to other and
high-pass and we're just gonna tweak this until we have something that we
like notice how whenever we move the radius these areas get a little darker
and it starts bringing out a little bit more details in her eyes and her
eyelashes are starting to pop the strands of hair starting to come out a
little bit more so I think we're gonna stay around around this area because I'm
really liking how this is looking right now I'm gonna hit okay and then what we
want to do is we want to take this and we're gonna set it to an overlay so it's
pretty much sitting on top of the layer below and I think I like that let's go
ahead and sift through some other options see if we have any other pasty
layers that are gonna bring out those deep those deep blacks the way that we
want to to do that we're gonna hold shift and we're gonna hit the plus sign
soft light that's actually like soft light we're actually going we're gonna
leave it on soft light that looks good when you take the El facil
this is just to give it a little bit more of a natural feel this is the
difference let's go ahead and go back to the beginning so yeah looking looking
really good so far take it down probably just a little bit
more and then next what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you guys it take me
smoothing out the skin so now that we have all this and I think we're gonna go
ahead I like I like the way this this is looking so far so what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna hit command alt shift E and that pretty much brings all the effects
into one picture I'm gonna go ahead and make those make those not visible and
I'm gonna go ahead and duplicate this on this final drop layer at the top now
this is where the cool part this is where the magic happens what we're gonna
do next is we're gonna go ahead and invert this and they're gonna play oh it
looks like a horror movie so hope or a movie story horror movie picture excuse
me and that's not what we're going for so we need to go ahead and see if we can
get this fixed so after after you after you inverted the picture you're gonna go
down to pivot light and you're gonna hit this you're gonna get these weird colors
in this weird saturation and that's that's what you want so after that
you're gonna go up here and we're gonna go to a high pass eyes are glowing so
I'm gonna bring that down a little bit cuz that's not it's a little bit too
harsh so now we're getting to the now we're getting to the point where her
skin is really starting to pop and the the details and their eyes are really
starting to come out I think I think I like it around here leave it like that
you know what we're gonna do next is we're gonna go ahead and blur this high
pass filter so to give us more it was give us that smooth skin effect now this
is a quick there's a quick touch-up so this will get you to where you need to
be in order for it to look good but I definitely recommend that everyone
spends a little bit of on your photo retoucher just to make
sure that you're getting the most out of it
so after um after we've applied the filter excuse me I can't sleep the day
for whatever reason but after we've applied the filter we're gonna gonna go
to filter and we're gonna go down to blur we're gonna go to guys Chandler and
this is where we get that magical smooth skin effect you guys can see the
difference now her eyes now her eyes are really glowing and she just looks
freaking amazing now I would usually go into Camera Raw bring out some of them
bring out some of the saturation in her body and in her skin
and kind of smooth over just a little areas and really take the Dodge and burn
tool and really go into it but I'm not gonna do that with this session I just
wanted to kind of take the time to show you guys how to get a solid outcome
within a few minutes now make sure that you leave your comments below make sure
you also subscribe for different topics that you want me to touch on but as for
this I think this one's gonna be a wrap so you guys stay at it keep designing it
we'll be talking to you guys soon have a good night
