    Hello, i've recently started working with hdrp and I just had this problem.

    So, I was working on function over form and I noticed that the shadows where too dark in my scene, so I grabbed the Scene Settings and the shadows became more pleasing to look at, but, after that I got back to working on my scripts and such and when I went to do a last test just to see everything I noticed that the shadows were back to being extremely dark, I don't know if I did something and, if I did do something, I really don't know what I changed.

    Here is the best example I could take, the sun is a directional light, my character is a grey capsule (the glowing rectangle is his eye):

    In the light component you can toggle the plus button on the right top corner in the shadows component and then you can play around with the dimmer slider. This is your shadow strength slider. I've also posted an image below.
