You seem to be a details guy…I think a scan of the manual would help immensely. The tone eq can be mapped with the mask so that the sliders or control points cover whatever area you prioritize so it does not have to be as “granular” as you have experienced. Also use the “a” toggle in the parametric mask to get a log control version of the slider. You can then be far more precise in the shadows…lot’s of little nuggets in there to be discovered…
