I basically agree with these three points. If there is any refinement to be
done, we will probably wish to view *deleting* somewhat differently from
*adding*. Burning in can be a type of deleting; whereas dodging is not
really like "adding." But these are nuances.
For example, if I clone a bit of sky to remove a vapor trail, is this
deleting? I use the same method to deal with scratches; and so forth. But
yes, the intention is clear.
