I have done several videos now on Dodging and Burning in Photoshop over the years:

Curves Adjustment Dodging and Burning….  2015 
Automatic Dodging and Burning in Photoshop…. 2014
Dodging and Burning With a Purpose: Photoshop CS5…. 2012
Dodging and Burning…. 2011

Photoshop is a great source for dodging and burning your images, but did you know you can use Adobe Camera Raw or even Lightroom for Dodging and Burning?  I have been experimenting with this over the last few months and think I finally made some Dodging and Burning brushes in ACR that work like a charm.  

The secret to Dodging and Burning is that it is not just about increasing or decreasing the exposure in the brush.  It requires a little boost in Contrast, Clarity and even the Whites and Blacks.
