[QUOTE="J-see, post: 469747, member: 31330"] He indeed managed to explain it in an understandable manner. When I read the manual about wavelets I more often than not ended up scratching my head and having no idea at all what they are saying. For highlights and shadows I usually use the LAB part in the first module. The first RGB mode doesn't work as well since in RGB the colors combined also define the luminosity so it is hard to adjust anything there without it affecting colors too. In the LAB part you can edit the luminosity separate and I find that using the curves and other options there lead to more satisfying results. Even when I have to increase exposure, in RGB I rarely go higher than 1.5 stops. The rest I do in LAB by increasing brightness and when needed, increase chromaticity to add some more depth/richness to the colors.
