Blown highlights?

Hi Folks,

I've just finished writing this little blog on recovering highlights in RAW. It might be useful, it might not... Its basically double processing and using the colour range selector in Photoshop. The process has worked very well for me with constrasty images. I used to just bin the images where the highlights are blown, but if its a good image, I now work a little harder to keep it.

Any feedback or questions are welcomed :wavey:

Thanks for sharing the tutorial Elliot.
Always useful to know as it's sod's law that the shot that needs recovering is the best one in the sequence. :toast:
