One of LR4's better features is improved highlight/shadow recovery. Hate to say it but it is better than even the updated sliders in Aperture.
Outside of round-tripping to ACR and back, anyone know of plug-ins that could come close to replicating what LR4 does? FYI, I have the complete Nik suite, along with OnOne's Perfect Suite 7.
Figured it out. Spent lunch working through both Viveza and Color Efex Pro each offer different ways to adjust both shadows and highlights.
