Well, there's many ways to do what you're after, many you've already described. You could use an eraser with a low opacity (like 10%) to partially remove some of the bump that you don't want. If your bitmap is midgrey with black for in bump and white for out bump, you can paint on a layer above the color grey, and then play with the layer's opacity to partially dul down the bumps. Or in the future, paint your different bumps on different layers, then you can use stuff like layer masks to modulate the bumps. Hope that helps.
