In this video tutorial with accompanying Photoshop Action, Kelly demonstrates her preferred Dodge and Burn technique. She uses this to give her creative images a whole new level of depth and dimension.  This “50% Grey Layer technique” stands apart from Photoshop’s default dodge and burn tools by creating a non-destructive, cleaner editing process.  These non-destructive editing layers allow you to work independently of your original image, without introducing colour or tonal flaws which are often seen with the default tools.
