Bleached Tree Branch. Can it be recovered?

[wasnapper]

Hi,
I am trialling ASP against some other software and would be extremely happy with ASP if I can resolve the problem below.

I have an image of a walking track where the branch of the gum tree has caught the sun and is bleached out. I have tried n tried n tried but cant get a decent result.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this in ASP please.

I cant see how to upload it here either so you can look at it on flickr on this link

I am not sure what you wanted to achieve, but if you wanted to mirror the bleach out the trunk and bough, you could use the Nuance plug-in.

like this - but I only bleached bits of the trunk and bough

That's my take on an "anti-duotone". Other users who are more practiced than me at using the ASP palette could possibly get a similar effect (or even the effect you wanted) without the plugin.

Is there a RAW file available for testing?

[wasnapper]

Yes but I cant get it to attach to this. Tried to upload it as an attachment but it keeps timing out

Try again now that I have approved your second posting.

Just put it on DropBox or one of the other file store sites.

Try the attached XMP.
HR Range and HR at 100, a bit of color correction and on stop exposure correction.
Not brilliant, but ok for salvaging a completely overexposed shot.

cheers
