I might be missing something here but if a highlight is blown, it's not salvageable regardless of the format it was taken in. If you blow out a highlight shooting in RAW, there is no detail captured and no amount of post processing is going to get it back.


The point I was trying to make is that if it had been shot in dng format on my phone, it would have had more dynamic range and the sun probably would not have been so blown out.

I understand when you have something that blown out there is no data there but I don't think that means it can't be reconstructed. It depends, of course, on your pp skill level and how valuable the photo is to you.

A quick attack with the burn tool in PS to see what you actually have and go from there. It will never be a contest winner but...

Perhaps you simply don't understand my kind of humor Ma'am.....😉
I'm confident you are correct in that observation.

For future, I'm asking that you consider the wide range of experience, personalities and learning styles of our members and find a different way to communicate your knowledge. Much appreciated.

If anyone ever wondered what jpeg artifacts really look like, here's a good example. Cellphone shot out my front door this morning and though I had set to dng (raw) format, but somehow missed it and ended up with a jpeg image. When downloaded, the sky artifacts were noticeable so for fun I through the image in Aurora HDR and pumped em up!
