Paint Edit > Color correction > Burn

Use the Burn window to easily darken an image layer. Please note that these changes happen only to the current layer.

This tool is based on the traditional photography technique of increasing the exposure to darken areas on the film.

Burn darkens areas of an image (highlights, shadows, midtones or all tones) as if paint of the selected color was added to them.

Choose an Adjustment Type. The Adjustment type determines which range of color values will be modified. You may choose to modify:

All color tones
Only highlight
Only midtones
Only shadows

Adjust the Burn Factor and Color sliders to update the image on the bottom, for comparison with the original image at the top.The smaller the values, the finer the adjustment.

To change the color of the "paint", click on the color swatch to open the color editor.
