Woman Illuminated by LED Lights D is for Dodge and Burn Here I used channels to create a layer mask pinpointing only the highlights of the image, so I could then increase them using a masked Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer. Now, you can use this selection to pinpoint things like Adjustment layers. Select the Channels panel, choose the channel that best represents the areas you’d like to select (keeping in mind that the white areas will be selected), and then hold Control and click the Channel.
