Photoshop - Setting Better Shadow/Highlights Defaults

Brought To You By Layers Magazine & National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP)

If you've messed around at all with Photoshop CS's new Shadow/Highlight tonal adjustment feature (under Adjustments in the Image menu), you've probably already figured out it's pretty cool. However, when you bring up this dialog, the Shadows slider is already set at 50% (by default), so it immediately adjusts your image. So I always wind up setting the Shadows slider back to 0% (so the image is untouched until I move a slider, just like in Levels or Curves). However, if you always work in the standard mode (you don't click the Show More Options feature), you wouldn't know that at the bottom of the More Options panel is a button called "Save Defaults," which will let you set the shadow to 0% and save that as your default setting. Hey, every little click counts.
