As a cat fan, this photo caught my eye online. So I took a screenshot & adjusted it in ACDSee Pro 2 using the Shadows & Highlights tool. The results were so amazing that I sent them to the owner. He was kind enough to send me the original jpg so that I could share this. Aren’t the results just amazing?!

In the previous post, Sue used the Advanced Tab. I used the Light EQ tab with the sliders. The top sliders for ‘Brightening’ brought the front cat out of the deep shadows & details like the whiskers can be seen! The ‘Darkening’ sliders alleviated the blown out background behind the white cat & brought details back to the cement bench outside. They also gave detail to the white cat.

A huge thanks to Jim Hathaway for sharing his photo!

Have you tried the Shadows & Highlights tool & gotten great results? Please share your example.
