It’s not unlike using the graduated filters you get in some other programs. Burning the top edge is a great way to add a sky darkening effect, and burning the base is a great way to balance up the composition if you do. You can darken (burn) the top and bottom and left and right edges individually or all together.

You can achieve more controlled and creative ‘dodging and burning’ using the Burn Edges section. Vignettes can effectively simulate the appearance of old lenses, negatives or prints. The Vignette panel offers a range of preset corner darkening or lightening effects, but you can also control these manually. You can also adjust the ‘paper hue’ and ‘silver hue’ separately to create split toning effects. The Toning section offers a large range of preset toning effects, from Sepia to Selenium and many more.

This is the last adjustments panel, but it covers a lot of things, not just the finishing touches.
