Thanks for pointing out that wonderful tool. You cannot invent pixels
that are not there, but it is great for adjusting the
foreground/background balance in the contre-jour photos that I take.
It has done wonders for a digital shot that I took.
But here is a shot on Provia 100F; it is poorly composed, but the
window framed the couple watching the sun go down on Galway Bay ("If
you ever go across the see to Ireland"). I did not worry, when
composing the shot, that the window and inside of the pub would be
underexposed. Using that wonderful tool, I have in one stroke
increased the detail in that shadow. Please ignore the resulting
reflections on the inside of the window glass.

The slide was scanned on a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 at 16 bits, but the
image file was reduced to 8 bits (80-odd Mb) before any adjustment,
then reduced to 600 pixels in height using the Bicubic Sharper method.
You can see that I have carried out no other sharpening.
How's that for dynamic range? ;-)
