Indeed but it works for me as a starting point. I can then apply more post processing after that.

Thanks. It's a great tool to have. Now I am less afraid to have blown highlights although I prefer to have the right exposure right off the bat.

Thanks very much maltmoose. I haven't used luminosity masks yet. Maybe if I come across a more complicated issue. If I have some time I'll go to YT and learn using it. However the ones I showed are ...

I experimented recovering the highlights via the basic Manual Exposure----Highlight Priority Strong. It's a good starting block and then I post processed my way from there. Looks good to me and I ...
