I would approach braw the same way you do Prores.

The highlight recovery is only designed to reconstruct some colour information in some colour channels when you have clipping in one channel and not the other.
In reality the “recovery” possible is actually more like fixing a weird colour tint in near clipping. NOT recovering information.
This is not like in PS when you loaded a DNG and it magically seemed to pull in extra highlights that had gone.
Now with BRAW you start off with pretty much all the information from the beginning.

Thank you for time and answers! I will continue to expose as I have always been doing since BMCC days.
I know that it only really works if only one channel clipped, but as long as it only clipped one channel doesnt it extend the DR?
Again. Thank you so much for your time!
