Mark's Tip of the Day - Adjustment Brush

One of the most over-looked, but very useful, features of Photoshop is the Adjustment Brush in Camera Raw.

When you've opened your image in Camera Raw, click on the Adjustment Brush tool and open up a whole new world of fun.

Simple to use, you can selectively lighten, darken, add contrast , etc., to the parts of your image that need it, rather than a global adjustment that affects the entire images.

Now here's the tip within the tip: Click the Auto Mask box when you make your adjustments. One simple click and your life just got a whole lot easier.
