Any hope for this?

This family just had to be on these darn rocks...Editing help desperately needed...I've tried a few different things, any advice?

I think the rocks are the least of your worries. The sun was too bright and caused severe highlights. I assume that is what you were getting at?

I'm not a photoshop genious, but all I know is that info can never be brought back so you have to put a bandaid over the problem. I'm not sure how to do that either. Someone will chip in though.

It's repairable but would be very very labor intensive.

What exactly was your setup? Shooting people in intensive sunligt is rarely a good thing unless you have some serious flash equipment or reflectors available.
