Is there a downside to adjusting the white slider to remove the blown out whites before doing other adjustments?

Why not use the Mask AI “sky region”. Wouldn’t that be faster for making the adjustment?

I would try the sky region as an easy first step. Sometimes it does a great job. Sometimes it doesn’t ‘understand’ what should be the sky, either including too much or not enough. Even so, for this type of adjustment I’ve been okay with painting / erasing some of the mask to refine the selection.

Sherry, I’ve noticed the same thing in his presentations, he prefers to use gradients for sky stuff rather than the AI. I guess the problem with the AI can be is that the edges where horizon meets sky can be harsh and sometimes feathering just looks a little strange.

Seems like something is maybe a bit overly optimistic in the video. Pressing the J key is supposed to show areas that are “blown out”, or pure white “with no detail”. Being blown out implies that there “is no detail”. So, where does the detail data come from when pulling down on the highlight slider? By definition, a blown out highlight in the original image has no details to recover.
If the RAW image was blown out, the highlight slider cannot bring back detail that simply isn’t there.
However, if the original raw image has details, but something was done in the editing process to blow them out, then the highlight slider can recover those details.

Awesome tutorial Dylan. You really show off the power of ON1 2024. I think this will be helpful, as I like taking photos of festivals and parades… most often in full sun. This is a tutorial is one I will watch several times.
I really like the way you show how to accomplish handling the highlight in different ways.
Thank,
Jim

How does the Brilliance AI one click tool do, vs the various manual recipe adjustments on this image?
