Hello there!
In a situation like this where we would like the ground plane to be quite white (not gray) and at the same time preserve the nice gradients from the light planes over the metal. There is a way to recover the highlights of the metal lid without compromising the white of the ground plane. If we increase the value for highlight compression too much, everything starts to turn gray and lack contrast.
This is a question where I always have to save two images and compose in Photoshop, am I doing something wrong or is there a better workaround for this?
Thanks
