Have a look at this screen-cap. Notice how blown-out the original image on the left is, and how perfectly RAW processing fixed this issue. Total work time? 3 seconds.
Can you briefly explain what steps you took to correct the image?

Yep, I'll probably go the educational route - thanks!

If you want to learn photoshop, I recommend anything by Scott Kelby. His writing is very easy to understand, as are his techniques. I like his 7 system book.
I agree. The most important thing going into this fresh is developing a workflow. The Kelby 7 Point System focuses on that.

I simply moved the black slider and the recovery slider to the right, seriously, 3 seconds. Many times I use blacks in place of contrast so I don't lose detail.
