Description: "Dodging" is the term darkroom technicians use to describe the selective lightening of an image area by underexposing that area of a photo-sensitive surface. Digital editing technology allows dodging to be replicated through non-photographic procedures.

Cost Considerations: Digital dodging, and other selective lightening and coloring techniques, are basic image editing procedures. The cost of dodging rises as the customer requests increased levels of precision. (Precise dodging is not always desired creatively). Price range: $15-$40/high res image (volume rates available).
