Limiting the Tonal Range of Brushed Adjustments
You can limit the adjustment you’re about to brush on an image to a specific tonal range
using the Brush Action pop-up menu in the Brush HUD. For example, if you want to brush
an adjustment on an image and have the adjustment limited to the shadows, you choose
Shadows from the Brush Action pop-up menu and then brush the adjustment on the
image. If the brush touches a midtone or highlight, that part of the image is not changed.
Tip: This feature is particularly useful when burning and dodging, because you can limit
the exposure adjustment to the tonal range you want to modify without having to worry
about adversely affecting details in the tonal ranges that are appropriately exposed.
