To accomplish a more "equalized" light on some photos that have a high dynamic 
range, I use the lowpass module with contrast -1, saturation 0 and blend mode 
overlay. Then I tweak the effect with radius or opacity. This gives a better 
result than the shadows and hightlights or fill light modules in my opinion.
