While dodge and burn is a common technique, I'll explain why it often falls short in achieving subtle, effective light sculpting. Instead, we’ll use more advanced approaches like masked curves. I'll also demonstrate how Relight AI, the Dramatic filter, and custom vignettes can each provide precision control over light placement and intensity. We'll also introduce a bonus technique using luminosity masks, giving you a powerful toolkit to add depth and emotion to your landscape photos. These methods help you shape the light to bring out unique textures, enhance atmosphere, and elevate the overall look of the image.
