So to conclude the Lab chapter, this is my import to Lab.

And the “b” channel adjustment.

And the replaced “L” channel

Finally, the Shadow Highlight adjustment to the “L” channel.

The original image.

The result of the RGB process including detail restoration.

The result in Lab color mode.

Pick the result you like the best and enjoy! Save the pixels and “look ma, no masks.” As a parting thought, each adjustment layer has a mask attached so if you wanted to fine tune any of these steps, you could. If you have any questions or if I can be of assistance, please send me a Private Message

Thanks Bob. You have inspired me to retry "fixing" some of my Bonaire pictures that I had given up on out of frustration.
