You can also apply targeted masks to individual layers. For example, if you wanted to apply the Orton effect only to the highlights, expand the Zone Editor folder in the layers panel. Find the layer called “Zone Orton” and click on it to select it. Now press Target Whites/Highlights. This will apply a targeted mask so the orton effect is only applied to your target. The same principles could be used if you wanted to brighten shadows, or darken highlights.
