I have been experimenting with highlight shadow controls in PSE5.

An example is shown in:-

In this example I have lightened the shadows by 50% and darkened the highlights by 50%. I am quite pleased with the results except for the ‘bloom’ around the darker outlines that rather spoil the effect, as though they are rather highly feathered.

Is there any way of controlling this effect? It should be possible to adjust the highlights and or shadows with only a slight marginal effect but I can see where this is set in the default menus.

Thanks for any comments.
