Lightens an image layer.
Use the Dodge window to lighten an image layer. Changes happen only to the current layer.
This tool is based on the traditional photography technique of holding back light to lighten an area on the film.
Dodge lightens areas of an image (highlights, shadows, midtones, or all tones) as if a bright light of the selected color was projected on them.
Choose an Adjustment Type. The Adjustment type determines which range of color values are modified. You can modify:
Adjust the Dodge Factor and Color sliders to update the image on the bottom, for comparison with the original image at the top. The smaller the values, the finer the adjustment.
To change the color of the “light”, click the color swatch to open the color editor.
