I love Luminosity Masks
Luminosity masks in Photoshop are a great way of lifting certain parts of a photo. In the photo below, Evie's face is very much in shadow, and I wanted to lighten her face without simply raising the exposure of the whole image, which would have caused most of the image to become over-exposed. Luminosity masks (used in various ways and in combination with other masks) allow you to apply an adjustment to an image based on how bright/dark each individual pixel in an image is.
