I just bought it and I think it is the best USD $19.90 I have spent in a 
long time.

This is really nifty.

You take your raw file and process it / save it twice, once for the 
highlights and once for the shadows.

Then a couple of clicks and it is like putting it in an Oster 
blender.....except instead of a margarita you get a very nicely blended 
image file.

You can even use it with problem b&w scans. Photoshop the file twice; 
once over, once under. Then mix.

As Brother Rabiner might say, stirred not shaken.
