So, if you wanted to select and darken only the light\/lights you can do that without trying to brush what may be small or intricate areas.  You can buy a program that automatically produces luminosity masks from <a href=\"http:\/\/goodlight.us\/writing\/luminositymasks\/luminositymasks-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Kuyper <\/a> or other locations.  These programs may break the luminosity histogram into as many as 32 segments for great precision in modifying your image.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3977\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3977\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Thanksgiving2018_Table_D75_4927.jpg?resize=584%2C390&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"390\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Thanksgiving2018_Table_D75_4927.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Thanksgiving2018_Table_D75_4927.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/richeskinphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Thanksgiving2018_Table_D75_4927.jpg?resize=449%2C300&amp;ssl=1 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thanksgiving table at my sister&#8217;s house.
