The controls in the adjustment panels in the Develop module let you affect the color and tone of an entire photo. But sometimes you don’t want to make adjustments globally, to the entire photo. You want to make corrections to a specific area of a photo. For example, you may want to lighten a face to make it stand out in a portrait or enhance the blue sky in a landscape. To make local corrections in Lightroom Classic, you can apply color and tonal adjustments using the Adjustment Brush tool and the Graduated Filter tool.
The Adjustment Brush tool lets you selectively apply Exposure, Clarity, Brightness, and other adjustments to photos by “painting” them onto the photo.
The Graduated Filter tool lets you apply Exposure, Clarity, and other tonal adjustments gradually across a region of a photo. You can make the region as wide or as narrow as you like.
As with all other adjustments applied in the Develop module in Lightroom Classic, local adjustments are nondestructive and are not permanently applied to the photo.

Temp
Adjusts the color temperature of an area of the image, making it warmer or cooler. A graduated filter temperature effect can improve images captured in mixed-lighting conditions.
Exposure
Sets the overall image brightness. Applying an Exposure local correction can achieve results similar to traditional dodging and burning.
Texture
Smoothens or accentuates textured details in your photo. Move the slider to the left to smoothen details; move it to the right to accentuate details. When you adjust the Texture slider, the color or tonality does not change.
Sharpness
Enhances edge definition to bring out details in the photo. A negative value blurs details.
Color
Applies a tint to the area affected by the local correction. Select the hue by clicking the Color swatch. The Color effect is preserved if you convert the photo to black and white.
Other effects
Additional effects are available for specific tasks, such as whitening teeth, enhancing irises, or softening skin tones.
Note: If Burn (Darken), Dodge (Lighten), Iris Enhance, Soften Skin, or Teeth Whitening is not available, choose Lightroom Classic > Preferences (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences (Windows). In the Presets panel, click Restore Local Adjustment Presets.

For a Graduated Filter effect, three white guides represent the
center, low, and high ranges of the effect.You can modify Graduated Filter masks using brush controls. Once you've added a mask, to access brush controls, select the Brush option next to New/Edit.
As appropriate, use the + and - (Erase) brushes. Lightroom Classic lets you customize three different filter brushes: A (+), B (+), and Erase (-). You can customize the following settings for these brushes:
- Size: The size of the brush
- Feather: The amount of feathering for the brush
- Flow: How much paint is applied to the area for every stroke. For example, if the Flow is set to 20%, 20% paint strength is applied for the first stroke. The subsequent stroke brings up the paint strength to 40%.
- Density: The maximum opacity that the brush paints. If you have this setting at 40%, for example, the brush will not paint opacity greater than 40%.

Enable the AutoMask option to paint inside the edges of an area. Lightroom Classic masks the area to ensure that your brushstrokes don’t go beyond it. When you paint, ensure that the core part of the brush is inside the area you want to paint.
To reset any changes made to the three brushes: A, B, and Erase and revert them to their default states, click Reset Brushes.

Apply local adjustments with color, luminance, or depth range mask
Updated in the October 2018 release of Lightroom Classic
Using the Color Range Mask, Luminance Range Mask and Depth Range Mask
You begin by creating a quick initial masking selection with Adjustment Brushes or Radial Filter/Graduated Filter. Then, refine your selection using the Color Range Selector to sample colors within the mask area, Luminance Range Selector or slider to set the luminance range endpoints of the selection mask, or Depth Range Selector or slider to set the depth range endpoints of the selection mask.
Примітка.
Depth Range Mask is available for only those photos that have embedded depth map data. As of now, this is limited to HEIC files captured on Apple iPhone 7+, 8+ and X, XS, XS MAX, XR (see the list of supported Apple iPhones) using the Portrait mode in the built-in iOS camera app. If there is no available depth info for an image, Depth option is disabled in the Range Mask drop-down.
After making an initial selection mask on your photo with Adjustment Brushes or Radial Filter/Graduated Filters, you can refine the mask area based on the depth range of the selection.

To apply adjustments with the Depth Range Mask to your existing HEIC images (with embedded depth map) whose Smart Previews were generated in Lightroom Classic CC 7.5, you need to regenerate Smart Previews for such images after upgrading to the latest Lightroom Classic version. This is to ensure that the depth map information is included in the Smart Preview files. Select the files for which you want to regenerate Smart Previews, and then click Library > Previews > Build Smart Previews.
