This plugin does a pretty good job of eliminating shadows and highlights in photographs. It gives you two layers that basically act like adjustment layers, and changing the opacity will alter the effect.

How do I find it to use it once it is installed
Total GIMP noobie question: I am a long time Photoshop user who wants to switch to the GIMP. I love GIMP plugins.
I can install the plugins. Some of them become new menus in the GIMP. However, some of them I cannot find. Shadows and highlights is one of those that I would really like to use. I copied it into my GIMP scripts directory, but I can't figure out how to access it to use it.
Can you explain this basic step to me?
Many thanks,

It's in Filters/Light and Shadow/Shadows & Highlights
But I agree, finding these is a pain. It would be nice to establish a convention that authors followed, or maybe for authors to tell us where they put the entry as part of their description.
Failing that, you can always open the script with a text editor and look for the "script-fu-register" entry that tells GIMP what menu entry to use (it's usually at the end of the script).
ive tried doing this but
ive tried doing this but there is no shadows / highlights menu created. I have restarted gimp and the script is in the correct scripts folder....
if you use windows with
if you use windows with default settings you cannot notice if the script extension was modified in "scm.txt" as often happen
To avoid that you should go to Start/Search/options and UNcheck "hide extension for most common file types"
Utility of that option is a mystery to me, its disadvantage evident
