Julie, Welcome to the GIMP. The Shadows/Highlights controls in PS/Lightroom are pretty nice. As you've discovered there is not an exact equivalent for GIMP. And as Alexandre indicated, we are on the cusp of a long-worked on, and long-anticipated new version release, 2.10, that promises significant new features.
Attached to this reply are two files, one a .scm script file, the other a .zip file of more .scm files (just easier to send the two :-) These script files are vintage 2012, so somewhat old (though algorithms used for image calculations don't really "age"). The standalone file is a Shadows/Highlights adjustment -- it gives only one parameter, opacity, so it attempts to modify both shadows and highlights in one go. It may serve your needs. The .zip file contains a collection of script files one of which is a shadow recovery script. Also, there is not a highlight analog. See if these give you acceptable results until we GIMP 2.10 is released and a more modern tool becomes available. Use the information here: https://docs.gimp.org/en/install-script-fu.html to find out where to put these .scm files so they appear in GIMP for use, usually on the Filters menu, sometimes on a Filter submenu. Also, you may find Regards, Guy Guy Stalnaker jimmyg...@gmail.com On Tue, Jan 2, 2018 at 1:50 PM, Alexandre Prokoudine < alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 2, 2018 at 9:58 PM, Julie Bennett wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I'm relatively new to GIMP and Ubuntu.
