In this tutorial, I go over how to do local (corrective) dodge and burn. This high-end technique works for beauty and portrait retouching as a way to even out tonal transitions on the skin to improve its appearance. Beauty and portrait retouching is subjective and a matter of personal taste, so use this method as much or as little as you want.  

This tutorial was created to go along with my book, "The Dramatic Portrait: The Art of Crafting Light and Shadow"
