Working with the Burn Quick Brush Controls
You use the Burn Quick Brush adjustment to darken the area of the image the adjustment
is brushed on. For example, if you want to obscure a visual element in the shadows of
the image without using the Levels or Curves adjustment to crush the blacks (changing
the tonality of all shadows in the image), you use the Burn Quick Brush adjustment.
For more information about Curves adjustments, see Working with the Curves Controls.
For more information about Levels adjustments, see Working with the Levels Controls.
