Hey this works really great and seems to perform better even for white/grey 
highlight reconstruction.

We have a bit of a debate running on the Pentax User forum as to whether HDR 
was necessary or even a benefit for a particular scene, with a couple of us 
attempting to match 5 shot HDR results from a single image.   An  underexposed 
raw still had 200,000 blown pixels in the cloud boundary areas  (as reported by 
the very useful rawshack) and I wasn't able to recover detail for much of this 
area in darktable although to my surprise a guy with lightroom could.  Anyways 
in the end I pulled your new stuff  from git and with this seem to have 
completely recovered the highlight detail now - at least as good as the posted 
LR results and maybe a hair ahead.

Thanks,
Rob.

Subject: [darktable-devel] first lgm results: new highlight reconstruction

heya,

as a first outcome of the meeting in leipzig i implemented an idea by a1ex from 
magic lantern, which reconstructs color in your blown highlights (3rd combo box 
entry in our highlights module, git master).

seems to work great on blown skin tones.

there is no opencl version for it yet (only dumb slow cpu code), and sometimes 
i get slight mazing artifacts when using my simplified version that is 
implemented in dt. i find it useful to set the edge threshold to > 0.0 in the 
demosaic module when working with it (this will trigger an edge-aware median 
filter on the green channels).

if any of you guys have test images and want to try it on them, that would be 
great. there might be quite a few edge cases that i have missed so far.

cheers,
 jo
