Hi David,
Based on Axel's 'successes' with the poor source material of an online jpeg,
assuming that is what he used, I suspect you, Davd, could far exceed his
results on an esthetic basis using the RAW original file as source material.
What I am alluding to is Reprocessing your original DNG, NEF, TIFF, or CR file,
through the RAW conversion process and focusing your efforts only upon making
the branch look good. Assuming success pulling those highlights down (many raw
files have some 'headroom' to do this- but no guarantees) you can use a
photoshop type process with layers to blend the new branch in to an existing
image file.
Based on my limited experience doing this, it is either happiness and joy
staight off executing the blend or a dark and futile nightmare that makes you
rethink your choices in hobbies! :-)
Not to be hyperbolous or anything.
peace
R in mi.
