[Leica] Spam (9.031): And now a Lightroom question

[Herbert Kanner]

For gosh sakes, just upgrade to LR5. 1) It’s free. 2) I clearly remember being happy that I upgraded but don’t remember which added feature pleased me so much. 

Perhaps it’s the filter which provides an elliptical area of adjustable form factor and orientation and which can be set to include what’s covered (how I use it) or to exclude same. Then you can fiddle any and all sliders to modify that area. It’s the equivalent of B&W dodging and burning. Very easy to use. The “brush” that is supposed to be used for the same purposes is an alternative that I’ve never had any success with.
