Ok, here is a simple way to use the history brush in photoshop to apply filter effects such as unsharp mask to whatever area of the photo you wish while leaving the remainder intact.
1. Open your image and duplicate the layer.
2. Apply your filter effect. Take a snapshot.
3. Click the box to the left of the snapshot. You will then see a paint brush symbol. Next click the original image above the snapshot.
4. Choose your history brush, fix your brush settings and size, then paint over whatever parts of the image you wish the filter effect to be selectively applied to.
That's it! Rename your file and save as .jpeg and .tiff. The history brush is one of the most useful tools in your retouching arsenal. Hope this can help someone.
