Overexposed hairs.

<p>Hello, I have one trouble with few pics. I shot portrait in the studio but some hairs were overexposed that I can't recover any details. (I put one strobe behind her head.) Is there any way to retouch this issue? Someone said to use the stamp tool but it looks weird.</p>

<p>I guess the bigger question is did you learn your lesson in the lighting exposure part of this picture for NEXT TIME?</p>

<p>If you could show us the image, that might help. Yes, better lighting the next time around would be good...but, it occurred to me that maybe you could possibly just embrace the effect? It seems like high key and even overexposed portraits/weddings are the fashion these days. Of course, that might not fit your vision. Yes, cloning would be quite tedious but, with patience, might eventually work after multiple tries and experimentation.</p>

<p>The problem with trying to retouch hair is that there are anywhere from dozens to hundreds, if not thousands, of individual hair to deal with. Eliminating a strand or two coming across someone's face is not a problem. Trying to fix something across all of those hundreds or thousands is much harder.<br /><br />You have to be careful in using a hairlight that you don't blow out the highlights, as you have discovered. Next time, chimp your shots when you get started and adjust the hairlight so the exposure works.<br /><br />Also, keep in mind that the hairlight needs to be stronger for darker hair and weaker for blond hair.</p>
