Easily paint in highlights, or shading, with separate layers to keep your original image intact.
Create a new layer (CTRL/CMD + Shift + N), select mode: Overlay and tick Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray)

Select your Brush Tool (B) and change your brush colours to Black and White (D). Set your brushes opacity to about 20% (keypad 2)
Now brush in black on your Burn layer to shade areas and white on your Dodge layer to highlight areas. You can press X to change between your two colours.
