These two tools are key editing tools in Photoshop. Both are tools used in editing the lighting of a photograph. When taking a photograph or creating an image in Photoshop, often the lighting is different to the desired outcome of the image, that's where these tools come into play.
The dodge tool is used as a brightener. There are 3 ranges for this tool; shadows, mid tones and highlight. Each of these has a different effect on the lightening of the image. The tool also has options to change the exposure percentage as well as the option to build up the brightness with an airbrushed effect.
