Another technique that I have recently found helpful with high contrast, direct sunlit scenes is to start with Develop / Camera Profile / ON1 Neutral or Camera Neutral.
That makes it easier to build up the look of the image with less backtracking. This is particularly helpful when an important area is easily lost in blocked shadows or burned-out highlights.
I probably end up in essentially the same place when starting with the ON1 Standard camera profile, but it just seems easier to start from a base that isn’t designed for any specific type of scene.
I assume that this is what “neutral” is supposed to do: present the image without any particular scene or style in mind. If nothing else, it is informative to first look at the “neutral” presentation before deciding what to do with the image.

Hi Good examples Dylan. One question–is there a reason that you don’t use Curves for dealing with blownout highlights? I use it sometimes and am often amazed at how small an adjustment is needed to deal with a blown out sky.

Hi Dylan, I’ve watched quite a few of your videos discussing dodging and burning and your explainations of dodging and burning. I was wondering if it would be helpful, especially for folks who have never been in an analog darkroom, to explain the history of those terms and how they came into came into being. Burning and dodging can seem to be rather incongruous terms without that history.
