Photographers: stop clipping your highlights

There’s nothing wrong with clipping if you know what you’re getting and you’re achieving the artistic results you want. As long as you don’t expect the software to magically recover data for you. By not clipping the data you’re just giving yourself more options in post-production and avoiding any troublesome colour casts that the clipping creates.

Indeed! This is the point I am making although with less brevity.

TL;DR: Don’t overexpose unless you know what you want and don’t expect miracles from interpolation.
