Well, then, remember that we are working with Raw, and with Raw and highlights, things are often not as they seem!

So, I took the previous shot and did a few Raw processing "tweaks". If you look at the right panel under the Histogram, you will see the Basic Develop controls. What I did was simply pull back Exposure by less than two stops and moved the highlight Recovery slider up a bit, and then pulled the Highlights in the Tonal Curve panel back a bit. These all add up to toning down the whites without the darker and medium areas getting too much of a boost. Then I added a bit of contrast. And you see the results -- I did this quickly, so this isn't some kind of "great image", duh!

But, look at some things: first, of course, the whole image has been "tamed". Then, check out on the white document screen: you actually see some detail, as in the RF Intererence has showed up! With the shot before Recovery, nothing, zilch!

And, take note of the fact that the RGB values are significantly lower than 100%! Yes, they indicate that white is now a bit "gray", of course, because "true white" will show equal RGB values if you lower the exposure all the way to, well, as far down as you can lower it. But, as you will see, if the whites are "truly clipped", that is if there is no actual "data" in Raw, but just pure clipped "white", well those RGB values and the white won't go to "gray"!
