Dodge and Burning.
Dodge and Burning.
With dodge and burning you can improve the contrast of your landscape image. With dodging you increase the brightness of the shadows, mid tones or highlights. With Burning you make them darker. If you want to increase the shadow details in a dark area, you simply select shadows on the dodge tool, a certain exposure amount and click on the area. In this from start to finish editing course, Max Will demonstrate how he is using the dodge and burn technique. This will allow you to create an almost tree-dimensional feel of the image.
Finally, Max Rive has revealed his famous unique contrast control technique. While more contrast often means better separation and more drama, it also makes the look too harsh, dark en artificial. What if you keep the wanted contrast, and remain the original contrast where it isn't needed? This is the case with total contrast control in Max Rive's unique technique. Instead of less shadows details as a result of added contrast, you will only have more shadow contrast. Not only will you be able to add selective contrast, you will also be able to make a graduation of contrast.

Ultimate Color Techniques.
Ultimate Color Techniques.
The colors are one of the most difficult elements of photo editing. This is because it requires a lot of practice to calibrate the eye to identify improvements when changing the colors. Most people often go too far with the direction of the color mood. They often make all the colors too warm or too cool. Instead, you desire balance in the colors. Max Rive will explain each available color technique in both Camera Raw and Photoshop that will allow you to create and understand the perfect color balance.
...I wanted to improve the contrast and light of the image in a way which wasn't possible with normal editing.
Even though this photo has won a major price and has been one of my most popular to date, I only edited this photo more than a year after I took it. Why? It looked boring with a lack of contrast, as you can see in the before image on top of this page. During the editing of the RAW, I wanted to improve the contrast and light of the image in a way which wasn't possible with normal editing. In the end, I tried something totally new and in many peoples eyes, strange technique. The unique contrast control technique works also great on already editied photos. Since I implemented this editing technique in my workflow, my editing and photography portfolio has risen to a higher level.
