Dodge & Burn

AI dodge & burn you can keep editing

Dodge & Burn maps the small lumps, dips and patchy shading on skin and corrects them with two Curves layers — exactly how high-end retouchers work by hand. Each layer has its own mask, so you can repaint, strengthen or fade the result like your own D&B.
