Photography Question 

Henry M. Conner
 

over exposed wedding dress


what is the best way to fix an over exposed wedding dress, and white suit?

I already adjusted the image twice in raw and masked out the over exposed part after pasting one image on top of the other in psd. format, but there is some blue fringing around the more over exposed parts and reducing the exposure in Bridge did not bring the brightness down enough. What can I do?

What you can do is post that photo here so that we can SEE what your problem is, Henry.

  You might try isolating the highlights to a new layer (Photoshop or Elements) and then set the layer to multiply. This will burn in just the highlights.

Resist the urge to do too much processing in RAW...lots of people do too much there and end up losing detail. It is possible that the detail is completely blown out...and that will be a problem.

But as WS suggests, it is easier to tell if we can see the image.
