Yes I guess clipping is clipping regardless of the cause.
When do you think the new reconstruction module will go into the main branch?
Also if you are using filmic be sure you try all the color preservation modes…they can give quite different results with color and saturation…
Indeed - RGB Euclidean norm was a bit better but not much.
I’ll have to test this with AP’s new version in the works for filmic dubbed v6
Ya…sometime no is the best and sometimes its the worst… 
I tried to leave the upward-facing petals lighter.
with Filmulator:
- Highlight Recovery 2
- Exposure Compensation -1 2/3
- NR on
- NR Strength 20.46
- Speckle NR strength 1.7
- Chroma NR strength 17.25
- Highlight Rolloff Point 0.31
- White Clipping Point 0.835

bit lighter

I forgot to make a duplicate…history stack should be in jpg or back a few steps from the lighter version…
Nice - a decent amount of recovery of colour and detail in the petals, whilst keeping great detail on the bird!

Fun to play with !

Essentially highlight reconstruction->reconstruct color, fiddling with filmic rgb reconstruct, LAB tone curve to enhance the blown out violet (excluding the bird)

RT-5.9 highlight reconstruction with color propagation. Exposure boost locality on the tiny dinosaur. Copious false color suppression and chromatic aberration correction applied (I think this enhanced the natural iridescence a bit).
Interesting - good reconstruction - and it set me thinking about what I saw of the flowers and the bird when I was taking the photo.
The location was about 4000 m up in the Colombian Andes. It was overcast and rainy, with the sun occasionally breaking through. So not the best lighting.
I think the bird looks like I remember, but maybe the flowers are a touch too bright. Maybe its time for me to reprocess with the latest DT modules to see if I can use your ideas.
