Whenever I show the homie Kyle some of my projects, his first question is “Did you dodge and burn this?” I would always answer “No” but then I started wondering what Dodging and Burning was =D
Now I know… and knowing is half the battle!

Tree Matrix- Started in Camera RAW then brought into Photoshop CS5 for tons of dodging and burning.
I have yet to use the dodge and burn tools but I really like this workflow. Clip a new layer above your image, fill it with 50% brightness for neutral then paint in white to dodge and black to burn. The clipped layer needs to be in Overlay or Soft Light mode and you can play around with your brush opacity to get different results. The other blend modes from the same group will work, but those were the 2 I focused on for this project.
Most of the information I got was from:
Lynda.com
Thanks for pics Sarah!
Adobe Photoshop includes a variety of tools and commands for improving the quality of a photographic image. This lesson steps you through the process of acquiring, resizing, and retouching a photo intended for a print layout. The same basic workflow applies to web images.:
