Re: The demystification of dave hill! let's all help!

skydog: I used dodge and burn to get more wrinkles in the clothes! good tip is to make shadows darker with burn highlighst lighter with dodge...then shapened only the dark colours in the picture...got more depth in th ehair with dodge and burn...and added shadow to his face...THEN adde a curve layer that I took down the blue and adde some red...

Re: The demystification of dave hill! let's all help!

Gerry,

It seems you have been working hard to learn and understand how to effectively use dodge and burn. I also believe this is a good technique to know. When you dodge or burn, have you decided when its best to choose highlights, midtone or shadow?

When thinking about Hill, Fiscus or others, they had to learn their technique from practice and a combination of little tips and tricks they learned from others a long the way. I certainly haven't seen a cookbook from Adobe when Photoshop versions were released.

Re: The demystification of dave hill! let's all help!

Skydog: Well, learning the dodge and burn is what I see as a lifelong commitment...The most difficult part is to understand shadows and higlights...therefor I usually visit hill, fiscus and olafs web pages to see how they direct light from different angles...I haven't seen any books on the matter of dodge and burn to get higlights and burn! Im currently working with gradient tool on softlight layer to add white and dark spots to see how effective this is! because in some picture hill and fiscus have they have added strong highlights, that I haven't been able to get only with dodge tool...so white and gradient tool is something I'm working on know

Re: The demystification of dave hill! let's all help!

alfred: it's nice...you can see some dave hill in there...it's a bit "greyish" in color and a bit flat...more contrast and sharpening maybe?
