Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep this in mind. Luckily this is something that can be changed without breaking old edits. I’ll see what kind of feedback is given by others.
Personally I would use this module mainly for rather small, delicate adjustments. There a narrower soft range makes sense.
Indirectly there might be an effect on the highlight details, but it’s not the primary goal. Anyway, the new settings will reduce clipping / posterization in some cases of bright highlights, so that might bring back some detail (e.g. images like this one). But there’s no sort of explicit “detail recovery” done.
