Special Editing Feature
Brighten Shadows
This functions allows you to brighten or darken an image selectively according to highlights, shadows or intermediate parts. The sliders represent the three categories (left: shadows; middle: intermediate (mid-tones); right: highlights). Use the sliders carefully, otherwise images can become 'muddy'. If, in the end, the image is nevertheless too faint, you can improve this with the contrast slider.
Tips for use
Shadow brightening shouldn't be used indiscriminately - not every image needs it. You may achieve an optically perfect result but lose the image's essential character at the same time. Shadows can form an essential part of an image, needing little or no correction. Certainly, each image should be considered, literally, in its own lights and given individual treatment - there is no magic formula that works every time.
