I was referring to the genera adjustments, which I typically apply in ACR. However, you can do the same with a brush, and there are additional ways to afford even more control over highlights with masked curves.

Thanks for the comments Dan
Perhaps I am too blunt with my use of the white and highlight sliders. I\'I\'ll try a few adjustment with some photos taken in alight that typically provides excellent sheet metal micro contrasts.
But it is odd that the same my PP is fine on the 1Dx and not the 5Ds.
Are you referring to the sliders in the tool brush or general adjustments?

Well, then, we are then left to wonder how it is that I and others can handle such near-white tones and highlights without this problem on our 5DsR and 5Ds bodies.
Either there is a serious problem with the camera model itself and the rest of us aren\'t perceptive enough to see it, or...
As an experiment to better understand how white and highlight sliders operate, which might prove useful, photograph a test card with multiple gray levels patches or start with a digital equivalent file. Then, one at a time, push each of those sliders right and left and watch how the histogram peaks behave. This helps illustrate one of many techniques for using/expanding the near-white tones.
Be careful about trusting the camera\'s — any camera\'s — ability to handle highlights as indicated by the presence or absence of highlight indications on the view screen or even in the camera histogram display.
Good luck.
