[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 585569, member: 9240"] Highlights refer to a specific portion of the luminosity spectrum on an image, same as Shadows, Whites, and Blacks. Have you ever noticed when you mouse over each of those sliders (as well as the Exposure slider) that a portion of the Histogram window is highlighted? This is the area that the slider concentrates on (White is actually to the right of Highlights). So when working solely in Lightroom the combination of the first 4 sliders mentioned it's possible to create strong contrast curves using those 4 sliders. So the answer is, "Absolutely", when asked if I've gone positive on the slider, but generally only when I'm not moving on to some other editor like Photoshop. When treating it as a Camera RAW front end I generally will not unless there's a lot of recovery required on the original image. [/QUOTE]
