Chapter 6: Edit Mode
You can use the Edit Brush to paint an effect onto specific areas of your image, and then set the blend mode
and opacity slider to change the way the effect is applied.
The blend mode and opacity controls apply to many of the editing tools and special effects filters. When it does not make sense to
have these controls, they are omitted. The blend mode and opacity controls are not on the following tools: Crop, Resize, Lens
Distortion Correction, Perspective Correction, Rotate, Flip, Watermark, Text, Red Eye Reduction, Repair Tool, Selections. It is also not
available in Develop.
