Abstract: Techniques of editing images using a digital image editing tool involve defining a local adjustment that includes, as separate masks, a spatial mask and a range mask. The spatial mask specifies a region of the image to be adjusted and the range mask specifies ranges of colors and tones to be adjusted independent of the region specified by the spatial mask. In applying these masks, when a user changes a setting in the digital image editing tool, the digital image editing tool weights the effect of the setting according to the values of the spatial mask and the range mask for each pixel of the image.
