Hi, Roman, I had the same problem some time ago with a wedding dress overexposed. The quick fix was to enable the method "mix Lch" instead of "truncate highlights" from the "highlight recovery" module. Indeed, LR does the job right away, but you must first choose the right option with DT to get the result. Why this option is not enabled by default?
