We are fully aware of severe problems with dt’s highlights reconstruction algorithms.
I’m working on this, doing something new in collaboration with @iain from gmic. It’s a pretty difficult thing to do but preliminary results are very promising. Nothing for next 3.8 version unfortunately…
You make me curious 
Good news !
I think @iain posted something going back a bit about inpainting highlights???
EDIT
I think this is what I was thinking of…
Exactly. Still some major points to solve but there is steady progress and performance seems to be manageable. Cross fingers …
That’s great news. Hope that this would make it to DT in the future
