Lightroom vs. Photoshop: Which is Better for Dodging and Burning?

Is Lightroom Ever Better than Photoshop?

This is a question I get asked often in regards to dodging and burning…

“If Photoshop is so powerful, why dodge and burn in Lightroom at all?”

As you’ve learned in the previous lesson, both programs handle dodging and burning quite nicely….so at what point should you stop using Lightroom and move your image into Photoshop?

And is there a time where it’s actually better to dodge and burn in Lightroom exclusively?

These are the questions I’ll be answering in the above tutorial…and are meant to give you some clarity on the unique strengths and weaknesses of each program.
