# Improve shadow and highlight detail

1. Choose Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Shadow/Highlights.
2. Drag any of the adjustment sliders or enter values in the text boxes, then click OK.
   Lighten Shadows
     Brightens the dark areas of your photo and reveals more of the shadow detail that was captured in your image.

   Darken Highlights
     Darkens the light areas of your photo and reveals more of the highlight detail that was captured in your image. Pure white areas of your photo don’t have any detail and aren’t affected by this adjustment.

   Midtone Contrast
     Adds or reduces the contrast of the middle tones. Use this slider if the image contrast doesn’t look right after you’ve adjusted shadows and highlights.

   To reset the image to how it looked when you opened the dialog box, hold down Option and click the Reset button.

   Before adjusting shadows and highlights (top) and after (bottom). Adjusting softens the face and reveals more detail behind sunglasses.
