The Dodge and Burn tools
If there are certain areas in your photos which are either too dark or too light, you can use the Dodge and Burn brushes available in the app to change and adjust those specific areas to get the right exposure within your photos. You can select the brush size, hardness and exposure values and edit accordingly.
