Enhancing Details in Shadows
To enhance details in shadows, adjust shadow brightness using the Shadow adjust-
ment slider or by entering a value between 1 and 100 in the text box to its right. The
larger the value, the brighter shadows in the image will be. The default setting is 20.
The effects of changes to shadow brightness will be visible in the image in the active
window (some time may be required for the image to be updated). Adjust settings until
the desired results are achieved.
