That's it! To see the before and after of the completed effect put your Shadows and your Highlights levels adjustments into a group. To do this select both layers. Select one, hold down shift and click on the other. Now simply hit Command (or Control) and G and Photoshop puts these two layers into a group. Now you can toggle the group on and off to see the before and after.
