Dodge - Burn - Sponge

Hi everyone,

You may want to check this video by George Peirson.

I delve deep into the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools, showing you how to master photo retouching techniques that professionals use.
Dodge Tool: Lighten up those shadows without losing detail. Perfect for brightening up underexposed areas or adding depth to your photos.
Burn Tool: Darken highlights or overly bright spots seamlessly. Ideal for adding contrast and richness to your shots.
Sponge Tool: Adjust saturation in specific areas, enhancing colors or muting them for a more dramatic effect.

Thank you Sepiana! 
I needed this. I rarely use these tools as I did not know how to use them properly.

Hi Clive, you might find using the sponge tool, Sats, useful for fading in the bottom area to give more depth to an image, I use this one a lot.
