yes, what simon said. there are two things i would try, one is exposure, the other is adjust the basecurve to something a little lower in the bright regions at least (or try the `dark contrast' one and pull down the right end some more). you first need to get the highlights down < 1.0 before you can actually see the effect of reconstruction.
