                  Dodge, Burn and Sponge Tools


                 Dodge Tool increases the exposure/brightness of photos. It is a great tool to lighten faces
                 hiding in shadows. You can also apply subtle highlights that make the subject stand out

                 from the background.

                 Perform the below steps to use the Dodge Tool:

                 Step 1:   Open the image on which you want to increase brightness
                          and select the Dodge Tool from the Tools panel.

                 Step 2:  Select the  brush size and softness from the

                          Options bar.
                 Step 3:  Control the intensity of the effect from Range

                          settings.                                                Image before and after using the
                                                                                              Dodge Tool
                 Step 4:  Click and drag over the part of image you want to lighten.

                 Burn Tool darkens the pixels without affecting the colours. By using this tool, you can
                 create greater contrast by deepening the shadows in certain areas of a photo. Photos taken

                 in the day light often end up having white patches and dark shadows. Burn Tool can darken
                 the white patches, while Dodge Tool can be used to lighten up shadowy faces.
