Digital Photo Professional Question

I mostly know my way around this little program, but this still confuses me. They seem to have different effects, but they're kinda the same. I think I'd know how to better use them if I knew exactly what was going on. What's the difference between adjusting the left and right sliders on the histogram (red) and adjusting the contrast/shadow/highlight that's below it (blue)?

I don't use "this little program" but the histogram should be your color range. Not entirely sure, so see if you can alter the actual histogram itself. While the contrast/highlight is self explanatory. If it is what I think it is you should be able to control the prominence of a color.

Buddy, you don't need to know what it does. Experiment. That's how I learned photo manipulation for my photography. It's more fun that way too. Shadows obviously refers to the darker regions, whereas highlights refer to the brighter regions. The difference between the red and blue is exactly as FatOldMan said.
But like I said Experiment!!!

I'm not sure what that "little program" is, but you should try Adobe Lightroom 4. Its really powerful and super easy to learn. And as Vashlion said, just experiment. That's how you learn the best.

Sorry, I thought the title of the thread explained. The name of the program is "Digital Photo Professional."
