Is this any better, using shadows highlights and midtone contrast in Photoshop.I also see the problem you are talking about in background out of focus detail.

I was referring to the other Redshank post with it's eye in the shadow.


I am aware of the usefulness of the Highlight and Shadows filter. But like most Photoshop filters they can only be used in moderation before the artefacts they reveal become unacceptable.

I personally feel that Lightening shadows is a last resort, especially when dealing with a heavily cropped segment of an image.

I fear that many of my images of that ilk are better in the bin than attempting a rescue.
