Ominousplay, all the tonal variations were done, only, with the PShop Shadow/Highlight thinghy.

For imagerey I think this "PlugIn" is the VERY best thing since sliced bread. The very first thing, after rendering an Carrara image, is to first adjust levels if needed and then, without fail, experiment with that shadow/highlight.  Have not yet found an image that has not benefited from it.
