This is a way simple question. But I am just starting out with Photoshop. I am also using an ancient version. I am using 4.0.

How do I darken a selected area?

The simplest answer is to select the area you want to darken with a selection tool like lasso, pen, quick selection tool, etc. and use an adjustment layer like Brightness/Contrast, Curves, etc. to darken it.

A much better way would be to create a mask with that selection and then make your adjustments.
