The sponge tool is an amazing but not a well known tool that is incredibly useful. It allows you to chose a brush to desaturate or saturate a certain area on a picture. For those of you who do not know, desaturate is to take color away and to saturate is to add more color or brighten a picture.

Tips

- Don't go too crazy with the exposure too little and you will never get a change and too much and you will cause too much change!
