Hi Jakob,

Well, I have almost 10 minutes’ experience with this module - so I suppose I’m an expert now! :upside_down_face: :rofl:

This is a photo from my morning walk with the dogs yesterday. It’s not one of my best, just a routine photo. I thought I’d try using this as an example. To me, the photo as-taken is a bit “too digital” and I thought I’d try C&T to soften some of the details a little.

I’m just starting with this module, so perhaps there is a better approach.

Hmmm…hadn’t thought of that use yet. Too busy using it to bring out more detail. Good one.

The more I play with this module the more I love its contribution to managing over exposed highlights and dark shadows. It doesn’t totally replace my other choices for working on these issues but it does do a lot of heavy lifting with these problems. I am just so impressed with this new module.
