Thanks a lot. I have problems with knowing between blemishes and those spots that can be fixed using dodge and burn. I remove all of them using healing brush tool and spot healing tool. Please help me with that. 💗

Hi Vera, another great vídeo! One question, when you were doing General DB, how do you know you're not blowing your Highlights?? Thank you so much!

[hiddenbyfog]

oh damn i didnt even see the dark parts until you showed the before and after, i might need to boost my contrast helper layer until my eyes get more sensitive to the difference

[nathanielbishop]

My tool isn't working after i make the actions and i'm not sure what im doing wrong !

[surgio]

Great as always! Would you mind sharing some of your lighting in a future video?

Hey guys very simple way to dodge and burn that gets the same results: make a new empty layer, change the blend to Soft Light and that is it. switch between black and white to dodge or burn. :)

THANK YOU IRENE

I have followed every step, just like in the video, but when I apply the action onto my background and want to use the brush, it just doesn‘t work :( what am I doing wrong?

[robc]

Great tutorial. Do you use skin smoothing after D&B or do you not use it at all?

[lina_cats]

Do you use just regular soft brush or with pen pressure/transfer?Thanks a lot

Hi! I have a question. Is it possible to apply the same adjustment layer (an adjustment layer that has been inverted and painted on) to another image?
This is what I've tried:
1) Exported the adjustment layer as a Color Lookup Table
2) Navigated to Image > Adjustments > Color Lookup...
3) Selected the exported layer (the Color Lookup Table), but... nothing happened...
Any help is appreciated.
