In photoshop (or similar), one can add another layer (with adjustments, new details, colour etc) and apply a layer mask. This layer mask hides a part of the new layer, letting the portion beneath show through. The user can paint on the layer mask to either hide or show the layers below.

It's basically the same as making a selection and then inverting it. Any selection can be turned into a mask. When it's "masked out" then editing changes applied to the layer don't effect it. Shoot a bird against the sky, make a selection of the sky, and the bird is "masked out": You can do a levels adjustment, say, and it will only effect the sky, not the bird.
