I’ve run into this several times, but never when I had time to ask about it.
This isn’t best image to illustrate this but here it is: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/5955/hsgj6.jpg
I wanted to relieve the shadow areas a little of the image on the left. When I activated the Highlight & Shadow feature it immediately went to the image on the right. This is the default. 50% on the Shadows scale and 0% on the Highlights scale.
As you can see it darkened the dark areas instead of lightening them and reddened the picture overall. Why does it do this sometimes?
