I find that with the shadow/highlight tool set to advanced, it offers a great deal of control. Not only can the amount of adjustment be changed, but the threshold of adjustment as well. It's basically another way of using curves, with the added advantage of a saturation adjustment and a mid-tone contrast adjustment built in. In other words, it weaves a complex combination of curve adjustments. I've gotten quite comfortable with it.

Probably my own issues with dependence on a black box... ;-)

Thanks I'll try that. Could probably do the same in shadows/highlights
