Layer Blending Mode in Photoshop

You can use the Layer Blending Mode to put tone back in a blown out highlight. First duplicate the layer and change the layer mode to Multiple. Next bring up the layer blending options dialog box. Then slide the "this layer" under the blend if dialog box to achieve the desired level of tone in the highlights. Hold the Option Key (Mac) or Alt Key (Win) to separate the arrow into two arrows for further refinement.

Cheers,
Mike
