If it has control points you might be able to drop them where you want and adjust brightness or exposure?

In photoshop I create a new layer, fill it with %50 neutral gray, and set it's blend mode to overlay, hard-light, or soft-light. Then I paint on that layer with white(dodge) or black(burn) using a low opacity brush.
In NX you don't have that option so the closest thing I can think of is throwing a CP onto an area that you want brighter/darker and increase/decrease its brightness. This will be more time consuming than the photoshop method but you should get close to the same effect...I think.
I was going to try and see but my trial copy of NX2 is apparently expired.

Are you in Capture NX or NX2? Because NX2 I think has it. I use it mainly for the color adjustments which utilize the Viveza engine.
Thanks guys.
