In this tutorial we will apply the same effect as dodging and burning but with more control and options and in my opinion better effects on the highlights.This works for isolating a subject, bring out more detail in certain zones, apply slight vignettes, etc …

Open your photo and add a new layer ( don’t duplicate your background layer, add an empty new layer )

burn1 Dodge and Burn with more control painting with soft light.

Now put this new empty layer in the SOFT LIGHT blending mode

burn2 Dodge and Burn with more control painting with soft light.

Next we’re going to fill the layer with a 50 percent gray, go to EDIT –> FILL and choose ‘50 % gray‘
