highlght/shadow was RE: [APML] Astrophotography 2004 - Price ShockHorror

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@astro-photography.com>]

Hello Bobby,
I believe it first appeared in CS version 8.  The function allows you to
bring out detail in shadow areas and/or to cool down hot spots in the
highlights with a mix of radius, amount, and tonal range sliders.  I
find that it is sometimes better to do a specific mask for the
shadow/highlight adjustments, but other times, this simple function
under the "adjustments" menu seems to do just the trick.  It is another
function that can really turn an image into a very flat or processed
look, but it can also rescue an image at other times to make it special.
My experience has been with astro and landscape.  I have found it to be
a very handy adjustment to have on hand.  

Best regards,
Jeff Ball
