Dunno 'bout PhotoDeluxe, but PhotoShop (or if you don't wanna pay: the GIMP) have the lighten/darken (a.k.a. dodge and burn I think). You can still do a selection (Pen tool or lasso) to do a rough semi-circle, or you try to create a brush that is shaped the way you want (not very comfortable or flexible though). Selections are a safe bet, no matter if the colors are "fixed" or not.
