Burning and Dodging

Burning in is used to selectively add light exposure to certain areas that are too light on the print

Dodging is used by blocking light from hitting certain sections of the print that are too dark

Different tools can be used from cardboard to your hands

Constantly move the tools you use to burn and dodge so that no harsh edge is visible in the final print
