I have his plugins and the local contrast enhancement isn't what I'm looking for. The Shadow/Highlight recovery is actually pretty good, but for some reason it likes to crash when I play around with it too much. I'm not sure if it's the plugin's fault or the fact I have 90% of the plugins available for PDN which might be causing some file conflicts...
Anyways, for the time being, I'll play around with S/H recovery plugin. I'll just have to be careful with it so it doesn't crash on me.
