Highlight recovery not working?

Post by hchristiani »

Hi, have used Lightroom 4 until now but will at a later date run Ubuntu. So I bought Aftershot Pro.
I'm quite impressed with the application but for a small problem, maybe I'm missing something.
In Lightroom and also Photoshop if you are sliding the highlight slider it's quite easy to recover a lot of detail in over exposed area's.
But if I do the same in Aftershot Pro only a very, very minimal change occurs the highlights are still overexposed with no detail.
To confirm I used the same .nef files for the comparison.
Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Herman

Thanks for the reply, for the moment I'll keep using LR4 for those pics.
Cheers,
