"Recovery" adjustment in Photoshop?

[mward43]

Hey all,

I have used Lightroom in the past, and I found that I used the "Recovery" slider more than any other adjustment. I do not have Lightroom on my work computer but I do have Photoshop, does anyone know if the "Recovery" adjustment (or something equivalent) is available in Photoshop?

If not, is there a way to use other Adjustments in Photoshop to achieve the same type of result?

It's available in ACR (Adobe Camera RAW).

You could use Curves in photoshop, it looks daunting but you get a lot of control and can fine tune your brightness levels once your used to it. Im not 100% sure but I would assume the recovery slider is playing with curves in some way.
