Can the blown highlight, on the rear of the car, be fixed?

You don't have your image edit ok thing up, But I gave it a try anyway. All I did was select the area, darken it a bit, played with the coor balance and feather it. took my like 2 second....see if you like it

Good job! I try to select the area but the difference in color is too obvious. Yours is smooth. I guess thats where the feathering comes in. I have to learn how to do that. Thanks!

Your Welcome :D I use the history brush the the soft edges and just go around the area until the harsh line is gone.

Now you have just one reason why I always shoot RAW? ;) Instead of selecting & feathering, sometimes this works better: Take a look at this thread for how to use a Layer Mask to selectivly lighten/darken part of a pic: [URL="http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=117950"]Airport runway

I always shoot RAW as well. The shot above was shot in RAW. Im going to refer to that link, do some more homework, & see what I can do w/ different layered exposures via ACR. Thanks!!
