I think if you play with Shadow/Highlights for a while, you'll find it's a very valuable tool. It allows you to achieve more narrowly targeted control of highlight and shadow areas than does either curves or levels. It also has the ability to restore midtone contrast after bringing up the shadow areas. According to documents I've read, it's actions can't be fully duplicated with other PSCS controls.I've never used the Shadow/Highlight adjustments ... I always use Levels and Curves in Adjustment Layers, with masking to apply the adjustment selectively.
I'll have to learn more about it. I don't know how you can target more narrowly than adjusting Levels and Curves in adjustment layers with a mask to control what is affected. It may be easier to use Shadow/Highlight controls, but more precise/narrower? I'll have to be convinced. ;-)
