key and drag the slider toward the left.
When dragging the slider (slowly), notice that clipping appears, indicating (with
darker colors) the shadow areas of this image. Notice that there are many shadow areas
in this image, but you see that the underside of the brim of the hat appears almost
instantly, indicating that it is the darkest area in the image.
To see the darkest area of this image, hold down the Alt/Option key and slide the shadow slider to the left.

large dynamic range of tonal values that it can record. You might have to take a logical guess as to
what is the darkest part of the image.
