'''Burning-in''' is a term used in the [[photography]] industry. Burning-in is a technique used during the printing process to darken a specific portion of the print. For example, [[blue]] skies often appear a dull white in black and white pictures. The printer can burn-in the sky section of the photograph to darken the sky. This often helps to bring out the contrast between the sky and any clouds that may be present. |

To burn-in a print, the print is first given normal [[Exposure (photography)|exposure]]. Next, extra exposure is given to the area(s) that needs to be darkened. A card or other opaque object is held between the [[enlarger]] lens and the photographic paper in such a way as to allow light to fall only on the portion of the scene to be darkened. |

[[Ansel Adams]] elevated burning and [[dodging]] to an art form. Many of his famous prints were manipulated in the [[darkroom]] with these two techniques. Adams wrote a comprehesive book on this very topic called ''The Print.'' |
