The color picker
You can apply a subtle color to the graduated i lter or adjustment brush.
(h e color picker is also used in the output modules.)

For dodging and burning, a little color helps blend the adjustments into the
image and makes them appear more natural and realistic. (In Lightroom, it's
not possible to paint with a fully opaque, solid color.)

By default, when you
apply any of the local
adjustments, the color
swatch is neutral gray
with an X through it;
see Figure 4-78.
