With this 3.5 hour video course, you’ll learn the full scope of dodging & burning
Okay, yes, dodging & burning is a really old technique. I get it. If your grandpa had shot film back in the day, he probably used it more than you ever have. So what makes it so special? How can a technique old as your grandpa actually help you in the digital age?
To put bluntly, it’s one of retouching’s most powerful and versatile techniques — known for its precision and power. But you’ve probably ignored because you’ve found it difficult to master or been using it in the wrong way.
It’s very easy to damage color, saturation, or even dull how realistic your images seem if you don’t study it. You can’t just grab the dodge & burn tool and scrub away. So what is the most productive way of using dodge & burn techniques?
After thinking about that question for a bit, I wanted to find a video course that could explain the process from beginning to end and also seize your attention with its amazing scope of education. I also wanted it to stay accessible and easy to follow. It had to have the smarts and the looks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1464257973856{padding-top: 50% !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https://abz.photowhoa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/DB_retouching_course_Amber-Portrait-1_web-1024×1367.jpg?id=356159) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]
