Feature Description

I am not sure how to proeporly explain this, but I think when we adjust the shadow and black levels of the photo, the range is a little too small and it seems to affect areas of the image that maybe shouldn't be affected, which makes it a little hard to balance the highlights and shadows of images with more extreme contrast levels. For example, in this photo

But with RapidRAW, after multiple attempts, I can't really bring up the black areas without blowing up the red box a little too much, or washing out the colors. Here are a few tries I did:

Whether I use the Shadows or Black slider, the red area seems to be heavily affected by my changes, so it's hard to get it right. Just wondering if there's some logic change that could help there.
