This is what I did to the image:

The one in the middle was done with the shadow/highlight function. For the one on the right I copied the image to a new alpha layer. This layer is b/w. Then invert the layer and use that as a selection (CTRL+click). Then I used this selection as a layer mask for brightness/contrast.

For the attached image I did basically the same as before, only I used a levels layer instead of a b/c layer. The reason I'm playing with this is to find a technique that works nicely on other software that hasn't got the shadow/highligt filter of PS/CS :)
