Changing shadows
The shadow is the value in the image that is represented on the screen
as black. All values darker than the shadow also appear as black.
The image has a default shadows value. Selecting a lower number
makes more of the darker values distinct, which increases detail in
dark areas. Selecting a higher number makes fewer of the darker
values distinct, which reduces detail in the dark areas.
To adjust shadows for slides, negatives, or other transparent items,
use "Adjusting shadows for slides or negatives" on page 82.
