BTW, the advanced controls do not appear to turn off if you click Basic and they keep their settings until you change them even if you close and reopen the filter dialog. To turn them off you have to set either the Fade Amount or Tonal Width (or both) sliders to zero. I haven't proven it yet, but I think the Tonal Width windows are anchored at one tonal extreme and can extend all the way to the other. So, if you wanted to sharpen only the upper (brightest) 30% of the tonal range, you would set the Highlight controls to zero and on the Shadow tab you'd set the Tonal range to 70% and the Fade Amount to 100%. Unless I'm wrong :-( Thanks Khurrum,
