Photography Usage Form
Do the pro’s use the dodge and burn tools?
I was wondering if the experts in digital art (non photography) use the dodge and burn tools in Photoshop. Or if it’s OK for any artist to use those tools.
I see people complain about artists using the tools, and that it may be a form of cheating. But I think it really depends on if the tool usage makes the drawing look better or worse. An artist’s skills really matter if the dodge and burn tools compliment the image or not. I can understand the complaining if the artist isn’t skilled with the tools and their drawing looks like crap because of it. But if you know how and where to use the tools in order to make you’re drawing look great, isn’t it fair you take advantage?
I’d like to hear your opinions, as I am just learning digital art and have questions. Thank you.
Those people might as well complain about artists using pencils or erasers, you will probably find they do not use those tools because they do not understand them. Cheating sounds like a schoolchild’s complaint, there is no cheating in art.
There is one tool in the Photoshop palette that professionals shy from – the magic wand – way too many people use it as a cut out tool – never works, almost always leaves a faint but distinctive halo. Saying that, it can be useful if you use it to fill areas behind a line drawing – scan a line drawing, put it on a overlay layer, magic wand an area, expand by a few pixels maybe feather, create new layer behind, fill with colour/pattern.

Panoramic Photography $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between wideangle and panoramic photography, wide angle normally refers to a type of lens, but this lens type does not necessarily image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye about 160 by 75 may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as its height. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
