IMAGE CORRECTION
Contrast Brush
Use it to paint contrast only to areas that need a little oomph. Try it on hair and important details of an image to make them more prominent.
Dark Darkener
Paint over areas that need to be darker. Won't affect midtones and highlights. Great for eyeliner and those dark lines around the iris of the eye. What do you call those anyway?

Highlight Rescue
This will help bring back highlights that are a bit gone. It won't put detail where there is none, so don't expect miracles - only magic.
Highlight Enhancer
Use this when your highlights just aren't the highlight of your day. Paint where you want to make them shine.
Interactive Color Luminizer
Allows you to interactively lighten or darken select color ranges in a color image. Inspired by Lightroom's cool Luminance adjustment.

Take a deep breath! Opens the shadows and provides overall illumination. Affects primarily the midtones and shadows.
