Dodge Tool

If you have a certain area in your photo that you would like to lighten, you can use the dodge tool.

Look in your tool box. Click and hold to see tool options. Select the dodge tool (looks like a microphone).

At the top of your screen, you will have the same options as when using the burn tool. This is where you can select the size of your brush.

Decide if the area you are working on in your photo is a shadow, midtone, or highlight. Select the appropriate setting.

The last option in your menu bar is exposure. This is the pressure used on your brush (how light how fast). Suggestion is to start between 20-30%. You can always make it lighter by going over it again and again.
