>>2852617Here's a screenshot of one of the photos in this thread. Like I said, this type of processing works better for color photos, B&W photos will lose a lot of contrast using this method, so I don't use it for B&W. But the order I do the processing in is this
1. Turn on highlight and shadow clipping warning
2. Bring highlights all the way down, shadow all the way up
3. Adjust the white and black point to get the image close to clipping or to your satisfaction.
4. Adjust Clarity
5. Adjust vibrance and saturation
6. Make small adjustments to highlights and shadows as I might see fit.
Sometimes bringing the shadows and highlights all the way to one side will give an odd look, so I will tone it down sometimes, just like in the screenshot here.
