So far in this chapter, I've shared with you a few techniques that you can use…for burning and dodging, or darkening and brightening.…And primarily, we've worked on photographs of people.…Yet here what I want to do is turn our attention to working on a…landscape photograph;…in this case, a black and white picture, and I want to share with you an…extension of a technique that we've already learned so that you can kind of have…the best of both worlds or the best of two different techniques.…So this particular technique starts off with a shortcut.…You'll want to write this shortcut down because it's important.…
It's Shift+Command+N on a Mac or Shift+Ctrl+N on Windows.…This allows you to create a new layer.…Let's name this new layer burn and dodge.…What we'll do here is change the Blending mode to Soft Light.…Now so far, this is nothing new;…we've done this before, a new layer in Soft Light Blending mode.…Yet what's new here is we're going to now fill this layer with a…Soft-Light-neutral color which is 50% gray.…
