I'd go along with this. I too often use Brightness to bring up the shadows
without over
compressing highlight detail. Using gamma adjustments (in VS or Photoshop) or
levels/curves never seem to give as natural or smooth an effect as Brightness.
But
then again, I know I'm no Photoshop wiz so I might be missing something
obvious....
