Paint with a brush
Control brush size, feather, flow and density. Add to or erase from a mask as you refine the selection.
Local adjustments
Put the attention where it belongs.
Lift a subject, soften a distracting area or balance the sky. Build an editable mask and adjust just the part of the photograph that needs attention.

The same photograph before and after a local foreground adjustment. The workspace screenshot shows the actual gradient and mask controls.

A closer look
The tools behind the result.
Shape the transition
Use a linear gradient for a broad transition or a radial gradient for a shaped adjustment around a subject.
Select by colour or light
Use colour and luminance ranges when the area you want to adjust is defined by its appearance.
Keep the edit flexible
Refine the mask and its local adjustments, inspect its overlay and use undo as you work. Your source photograph remains unchanged.
