How to Dodge and Burn Your Photos In Lightroom
In this video course, you’ll receive a total of 7 video chapters covering over 80 minutes of teaching content surrounding how to Dodge and Burn your photos inside of Lightroom. We’ll discuss the problems that Dodging and Burning can solve by bringing back the structure and three dimension in our photographs that we experienced when we captured them on-location.
We’ll review multiple before and after images that have been dodged and burned and will also discuss how to determine which areas of a photo should be dodged versus which areas should be burned. And lastly, we’ll review the three main tools in Lightroom that can be used to dodge and burn your photos and review each in great detail, from the adjustment brush, to the radial filter, and of course the linear gradient, and will go over three start to finish case studies using each of these three methods.

Student reviews
Written by students who have finished this course.
I really enjoyed these lessons with Mark. It’s the way he shows you, step by step, the why of navigating your options in Lightroom, and at the same time clearly describes what he’s doing and why, while the whole time doing this in a slow and relaxed way. Learned a lot from this. Thanks, Mark.
Good examples of how to use the tools!
I just love how Mark explains everything!
Very well and clearly presented. There were enough examples and repetition to make me feel comfortable with all the techniques offered for dodging and burning. I will be able to use these tools in dodging and burning my own images. Thank you, Mark.
This in-depth course explains the reasoning and methods behind dodging and burning. Very beneficial!

I’ve been struggling with flat, dark, boring results. This tutorial gave me some insight into where in my workflow I’ve been going wrong, and improved my understanding of the specific tools. Thanks for focusing your tutorials on how tools work and what we are trying to accomplish with them.
