I'm not seeing any burnt out highlights on my monitor. (This feels like deja vu all over again :-). I'm running my color space at Generic RGB because both my printer and my stock house like that. In any case, it's always hard to compare images on different monitors.

Previous discussions of my PAW from La Jolla Canyon pointed out the relative harshness of the sahdows. I had mentioned that they could be reduced with the PhotoShop Shadow/Highlight tool. Here's an example. I also added a bit of warmth to complement the softer light.

I'm quite impressed with the way the PhotoShop tool works, although I'm not sure it improves this image. In working with the tool my experience suggests that one must use both the shadow and highlight controls, and bring the highlights down after the shadows have been reduced.
