I was thinking about all of the recent features that I am still experimenting with - and I suddenly realized that I have many of these backlit photos where all I really want to do is lighten the faces.  Suppose we had tone targeted fill light?

OK stop laughing everyone.  I'm just wondering.

Possible: yes.  Interesting: yes.  The problem is that I suspect the implementation would be difficult because the eye is more sensitive to luminance changes than anything else.  While you can get away with the falloff of sharpening near edges/transitions, I think if you tried this with fill you might end up with subjects that look like ghosts.  The transition between fill/no-fill would likely look a bit strange.

Yep - I agree - Thanks Mike. And if we want wierd results like that, we can use one of the many useless PSE filters that are already out there.
