Local Adjustments: Dodging and Burning

Analyze a work print to identify areas requiring local exposure adjustments.

Create a 'print map' to plan dodging and burning times and locations.

Select and create appropriate tools for dodging and burning (e.g., hands, cards, wands).

Perform dodging to lighten specific areas and retain shadow detail.

Perform burning-in to darken specific areas and add density to highlights.

Apply edge and corner burning to guide the viewer's eye and frame the subject.
