TIP: The Color Warning Triangles
If you see a red, yellow, magenta, etc., color warning triangle (rather than white), it's not
great, but it's not nearly as bad as white. It means you're clipping just that one color chan-
nel (and there's still detail in the other channels).
Step Six:
The next slider down, Shadows, is another one you only use if there's a problem (just
like the Highlights slider), and in this case, the problem is we can't see much detail in the
bottom-right corner of the photo. That's when you reach for the Shadows slider—drag it to
the right to brighten the shadows (like I did here, where I dragged it over to +34) and look
how you can now see the buildings in the foreground better.
