A couple years ago I bought an used a "Shadow-reducing" plug-in from somewhere that I loved. It made a big difference in adding subtle details to shadowes and enhancing the image a lot.

It died along with a mjor computer crash.

It may have been one of Fred Miranda's plug-ins, but I don't see anything like that on his site now.

amnyone have any ideasa? Are there other programs like this now that people like?

Thanks to this great forum's wealth of knowledge -

Fred Miranda did have a shadow restoration action although I don't see it listed anymore. A much more effective way to adjust shadows is using luminosity masks. There's one toolkit from TLR:

And I'm pretty sure a fellow NPN'r has an article in the making as well.
