This is a common problem I run into when shooting in the tropics. Often it is raining and to compound the problem, when the birds are in the open, they are often on branches that have lost its bark. As a consequence I get these reflective blown out areas such as the top of this branch. I am not interested in recovering details or totally covering them (do not want to clone over the areas); I only want to tone it down. When I use a luminosity mask and try to use Curves, Levels, or Exposure layers, I only "muddy" up the areas. Any suggestions? I use PS and do have TK Luminosity.
