When I do my lighting I like to add the shadows and highlights to each element in the piece separately. To do this I always add a clipping mask to my layer to dodge and burn. I never dodge and burn directly on the piece because if you get to much done you cant go back. This eliminates the worry as making a mistake... well at least for me it does.

This was all done in Photoshop CS4.

Please let me know what you think!!! I hope you find this useful! :heart:

Made for the :iconcrphotomanipulation: tutorial challenge

Used a stock photo from :iconspacenewt: to make this tutorial.

Send me a link if you use this - I'd love to see what you've done!! :heart:

Interesting. I also use 2 clipped layers for my highlights and shadows, but they're set to multiply and screen (or soft light) respectively.

I use the brush tool to then paint them in, mostly because I dislike using pure black for the shadows. I use the eyedropper to pick up the darkest colour in the picture and use that, sometimes changing the hue for lighter shadows or colour casts.

I use that too :) actually I use clipping masks for everything! Even straight paint overs on normal mode. I'm really lazy when it comes to staying in the lines :)
Thanks for share your tip too :hug:

A very nice and clear tut! I've actually never used this particular technique, so it was interesting to find out something new. ;) You should post it on Worth1000, you know. So many there will find it helpful! :iconlovebottleplz:

It's really simple. There's a tut on how to do that, too. :B And you already have your text and pictures, so it shouldn't take more than 15-20 min.
