I'm trying to get some detail out of this sky, but I had it on auto-exposure and it took the levels from the person in the hood, and whited out the sky. Is there any way I can get anything in the sky or was the exposure to great?

I just messed with it in photoshop, trying to adjust contrast and whatnot, and unless there's some way I don't know of(very possible), I would have to say NO. Too great of an overexposure.

Okay, I'll just steal a sky from another picture. Thanks.

Not possible to fix that. The sky is too white, if there was even some detail it could be possible.

Thought so. Thanks for the input.

Uhm, why the hell take a picture of 1/5 of a head, some chimney and sky? I get the chimney and sky, but not the head. Unless it's not the whole picture.

Anyhow, no, that's quite unfixable, since it's simply so bright that there's no trace of detail left.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

For photo retouching / editing I recommend you use Adobe Lightroom and not Adobe Photostop ...

As for the exposure...what camera are you using? I'd recommend a somewhat sort exposure (perhaps 1/3000?)

Yeah you probably could never bring the brightness of the sky down to any acceptable level. Digital is great for bringing things out of blacks, but terrible for whites. Film however, is great for bringing detail out of whites.
