You might be able to save them by using the Shadows/Highlights feature in Photoshop CS. If you dont have CS you could try cloning from other areas of skin which aren't washed out, either from the same photo or a different photo.

Ben,
Is the shadow/highlight tool in Photoshop CS legal for Basic Editing?
Thanks!

Yep it is :) As long as it's applied to the whole photo.

If it's not intended for a basic challenge, you can try simple burning. Or you can clone the highlights at, say, 30% opacity. It all depends on how bright and how much coverage the overexposure is.

I find it's harder to correct over-exposure than under, because with over-exposure there seems to be a much greater loss of detail, with under exposure, even though the image can appear very dark, there can still be enough varience in the dark colours to enhance the image.
Good luck. |

If it's just minor overexposure, there is some form of a curves or levels adjustment in just about every major editing program. Simply reducing the high-end of the output should the dampen the highlights across the image.
