I had a fun time editing one of my recent images: [link] and thought I would share some of the editing techniques I used to create this image. The main edits were creating a subtle glow effect and selective dodging and burning, all done non destructively through photoshop.

There is really two tutorials here. The Glow effect I use is one, and the dodging and burning is another. In this case I wanted to use both, sometimes I use neither, and sometimes just one or the other. The reason I combined them into one tutorial was specifically because I used them both on this image and wanted to document the creation of this particular image and give some insight into the techniques used to create it.

This is my first tutorial I have put together it assumes you have some basic photoshop knowledge of how to manipulate and create layers as well as a working knowledge of the tools available to you, as I do not discuss all the specifics of where to find each of the commands and tools needed.

Hope you enjoy and learn something new!

I just followed your tutorial, I've never tried this technique before. having the dodge & burn on a separate layer you can paint shades of grey onto is just brilliant :) much better than using the PS tool. Thanks for sharing, it's something I will most definitely be using a lot in the future.

Thanks again :D

Yea, when I discovered the technique I was blown away at how much more flexible it was than the regular dodge and burn tool. And dodging and burning is so essential that being able to do it non destructively is the best. Next step for you is to look up luminosity masks if you have not already and get ready to take your editing to the next level.

I wasnt planning on putting it together, but do a search online for Tony Kuyper and you will find what you are looking for.

You are quite welcome. I have read through them, and purchased the set of actions, and they are a part of my standard workflow now.
