Adjust Specific Areas

[Epicuros]

I have DPP 4.12.60.0 and have been trying to use the "Adjust Specific Area" tool. However, I have found no way to mark a specific area of interest. I have looked for some sort of brush tool but found none. The DPP manual provides no information, neither do any youtube tutorials or web sites. I would appreciate any relative information.
Thanks,
Vasilis

Vasilis,

try this:-

click on the selective adjustment tab then on the Set Adjustment Area tab.

When you move your cursor away from the panel, the cursor will change to a double circle shape as seen below. Set the size and feather (Blur radius) as required and then use this to paint the area you want to modify. It can be helpful to set the brightness adjustment to lighten the painted area considerably as you merrily paint away - it allows you to easily see where you have been. Then set the adjustment items to your liking and Roberts your father's brother!
