Here's a little photoshop tutorial for a very simple way to correct overexposure. Nothing fancy here, just the basics.

First, open the overexposed image.

Now look at the Layers pallete,
click and drag the Background layer thumbnail over the "New Layer" button and release the mouse button.
This will create a duplicate of the background.
click and drag to copy the background layer

Next,
change the blend mode to Multiply.
