Originally posted by BethC and the girls white dress is overexposed...is there a way to fix that?
If it were Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, one might reduce the exposure until the highlight detail was revealed and then possibly use a curve move to brighten up the now-underexposed midtones...
...or reduce the contrast slider to recover the detail and readjust brightness slider....
...or use the newer (highlight) Recovery slider (it will darken things slightly but not like the exposure adjustment slider) and then come back with Fill Light to brighten things back up again.....lots of ways to skin that cat!
In any raw convertor, you should at least have the basic option of applying negative exposure compensation until you see the highlights recover (or not) and then come back with a curve move or similar to brighten up the too-dark midtone areas while still retaining the highlight detail.
