[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 518689, member: 13090"] Yes, that helps immensely, thank you... I'm going to play around with that right now just to see where it gets me. Just to clarify, let me summarize and please correct me if I'm not understanding something. Step 1. I assume you mean you sort of "wing it" at this stage a little, looking for a neutral starting point from which to start adjusting your Whites and Blacks. Step 2. Max out the Whites slider then back off until there are no blown out pixels; tweaking by eye as necessary. Step 3. Same as Step 2, only using the Blacks slider. Step 4. Adjust the Contrast slider to taste. Is that pretty much it, in the proverbial nutshell? [B]Edit[/B]: Now that I think about it, this is starting to ring a bell with me. I remember reading somewhere the suggestion to max out both the Hightlights and Blacks sliders in Adobe Camera RAW and then, using the two mid-tone sliders (called Shadows and Whites) and Contrast slider, tweak things to perfection.
