The Smart Brush (
Correcting Part of an Image
)
lets you target an area and make a quick

can get the effect you like using the Smart Brush, go for it. But it's tough to adjust color
with this tool, since you have to either pick a different gradient or edit the one the Smart
Brush used (

tells you how). On the whole, the methods de-
