Photoshop Brush dynamics question.

[torstan]

If you want to increase contrast in some areas then you can create a new adjustment layer -> brightness/contrast. Turn the contrast up, and fill the layer mask with full black. Then use a brush with opacity set to pressure sensitivity and colour set to white and paint on the layer mask. That should increase contrast in the areas that you paint with the degree of contrast corresponding to the pen pressure.

Is that what you're after, or something different?

No other dynamics in CS2 Chashio. Ok, I'll bear that in mind...I can use multiply masks in PS and whatnot but I'd quite like to be able to use
a brush with graphics tablet, and effectively be able to raise the terrain- like in a terrain editor. Terrain editors tend to be more taxing on
the system than PS- and I'm working on large files, so PS seems a good option.
