Currently, I use the CC Photoshop version which comes with Lightroom as part of the package; but I have never seen any point in Lightroom. Before going to Adobe, originally with CS5, I use Serif Photo Plus which also has a full range of layers and masks.
Masking over a layer and varying the opacity by using a brush, particularly if used with a drawing tablet, gives so much extra flexibility although it is a technique which needs to be learned gradually.
If you don't have the use of another frog, how about placing a gnome or similar ornament behind the waterfall?
