I've just put a new Photoshop tutorial on my website at http://wildlifeinpixels.com/shadhitute.html on the subject of Shadow/Highlight adjustment if it's of interest to anyone.
Done originally at the behest of a fellow member last night, who left me on a ticking clock to get it done - he knows who he is - I think I did in time
Crikey, screen grabs don't half interupt your workflow - I kept forgetting where I was up to
Anyway, I hope some folk find it a bit useful - then all the blood sweat and sodding tears will have been worth it
Cheers darlings

Very Good Andy now I have just got to get CS3 and your full tutorials which of course when you have finished them you will be marketing just like A.Morris. A PDF download for £20 say!!

Hi Andy,
Very interesting, never given that a try, I opened up one KF shot that I know is under exposed and followed your tutorial, this is the original.

Hi Andy,
Very interesting - will be giving it a whirl later!
If you are using Photoshop CS3, you should really be applying the S/H adjustment tool as a Smart Filter. Duplicate the Background Layer (Cntl J) then from the the Menu Bar select Filter>Convert for Smart Filters. After converting the duplicate layer to a Smart Object, select Image>Adjustment>Shadows/Highlight and enter the adjustment values as required. The advantage of working with S/H as a Smart Filters is that at any time in the future you can come back and change the S/H adjustment that you made, ad a mask, change the blending mode, opacity of the layer etc. This is not possible using the S/H tool in the conventional way.

Yeah, thats right Mr. Shaw - I just knew someone would have to go and complicate things
Just remember who this tute is aimed at - it's nice and simple for a reason.
And it's aimed cross platform 3 and 2 - no smart filters on 2

Thanks for that Andy
Now they all know who it is.
Found it dead useful - what's next?
And thanks for the extra titbit there, Phil. Eric
