Dodging and burning details

In this exercise I am going to demonstrate how to use the Dodge and Burn tools,…which allow you to selectively brighten and darken details inside of an image.…I'll also show you how to use the Sponge tool, which allows you to either…extract or add Saturation.…I am working inside of an image called Max on carousel.jpg, found inside the…exercise files folder.…And notice my son is a little dark in the foreground here and that the…background is a little bit too bright.…So once again, he's backlit, but this time I want to solve the problem…selectively by brushing, because it's going to give me more control.…

The tools in question are all located in this slot right here.…Notice this pan looking tool, that's the Dodge tool, go ahead and click on it…in order to select it.…And now I want to increase the Size of my brush, so that I can cover more area at a time.…And I will do that by right-clicking inside of the image window, which brings up…this mini Brush's panel.…And I'll go ahead and increase the Size value to let's say about 100 pixels for now.…
