Grant's tools..free
Graffi's actions..about 8 bucks but you get a tons of stuff and they work great. One with the mask is called Handy actions

highlight the background layer
open a level layer adjustment layer and just click ok

go to layers>group with pervious
now you can paint with black on the layer mask on the levels adjustment layer. Here is a screenshot. click on it to enlarge
