Copy base and create layer1, work on layer 1 to acheive the image you want then erase the section over the over blown section with an low transparency setting in the tool.
The brightest layer needs to be on top so you erase part of that to see the less processed image below.
You can do this with multiple layers, processing each layer to a certain point for some particular feature then copying and processing further then erasing to expose below.
I've had it up to 5 before.

Went to a course on it where it was explained and demo'd in great complicated detail with all the right terms. Then figured it out that it was just rubbing it out in each layer. Orginal 'background' layer remains untouched is the key and work your way up. You can also apply it in each of the RGB layers for local colour correction.
