Graduated filter

With the “Graduated filter” tool, we adjust the exposure, brightness and contrast in a gradual manner in a photograph.
The intention is to determine the blending direction and distance for the blend.
Click and drag from a point in the image to determine the width.

You can manually change the various options, such as exposure and brightness with the shift levers,

or you can use a Lightroom preset settings.
Just click the double arrow next to the “Custom” and you make a choice in the list.

You determine the direction of the effect by hovering up and down over the center and clicking and dragging.

If you want to use a certain color in your changes, click the color picker and select a color.

Use the “Amount” (1) lever to determine the strength of the changes.
To see this, click the downward pointing arrow in the upper right corner of the pane (2).

Adjustment Brush

With the adjustment brush, we do just the same, just sign up with the brush in the photo on the places and make changes in the options window.
Select “Erase” and click and drag in the image in the places where you want to remove too many changes.
The rest of the options seem clear to me.
