Over-exposed images

There are times when I forget to make adjustments when shooting in manual (settings) after shooting indoors and then moving outdoors when things can go predictably wrong. Years ago when I purchased my first DSLR after shooting film I made it a habit to shoot in RAW file format and I've never looked back.
I would do this even in every day shooting as well for paid assignments.
For the lack of a better example I'm showing a typical everyday candid shot of my niece where I forgot to change the settings as seen in the first image.
The second image shows how most of the lost details can be recovered in post processing using such software as LR which is the case here but as you can see there are still some areas on her skin that can not be totally recovered.
This is an extreme case but I wanted to share how shooting RAW can nearly recover a blunder like this and to also point out how using zone editing such as U Point technology to fix just the areas of concern in an image.

    When I got into digital photography RAW was for me like a 7 headed monster.
    Didn't know how to tame it and began shooting JPeg.
    My Son used to shoot RAW only and explained me why and what could be done in PP.
    He made me switch to it.
    God Bless Him.!!!!!!!!!!
