| + | [title] Shadows/Highlights |
|---|---|
| [* icon_note] Adjusting the light levels may not be enough to even out all the darks and lights in a picture. To further lighten up the picture, you can adjust the shadows and highlights. | |
| [* black] Adjusting midtone contrast will increase or decrease the difference between darks and lights in your photo. You can see in the first image that there is a greater difference between the two than before adjusting the contrast. | |
| [* black] Darkening highlights is useful for darkening particularly light spots in a picture without having drawing too much attention to that spot in particular. | |
| [* black] The Lighten Shadows tool is used for lightening particularly dark spots. Spots that contain detail may appear solid black; lightening shadows can bring out the detail. Use this tool minimally, though, as black objects are usually considered "shadows" in a program, and they will be lightened as well. |
