Recovering blown highlights

[gordo]

This is a quick example of using PShop's generative fill to recover blown/clipped highlights.

On the left is the original.

The results can, of course, be refined.

Just use the quick selection tool to select the area and expand it slightly then use generative fill without any prompts.

Here's a better example that shows what I was trying to communicate:

The image - note the highlights on the shoes:

• NIKON CORPORATION - COOLPIX P950
• 4.3 mm
• ƒ/8
• 1/800 sec
• Pattern
• Auto exposure
• -2
• ISO 100

Here's the before and after:

• NIKON CORPORATION - COOLPIX P950
• 4.3 mm
• ƒ/8
• 1/800 sec
• Pattern
• Auto exposure
• -2
• ISO 100

Curious. Are these examples working on RAW or JPEG images?

Jpeg. The original RAW had highlight recovery maxed out and still the whites were blown out/clipped.
