A C 		  Could you upload an exampe of what needs to be fixed?

You could also use the healing brush.

I might have other, better suggestions but it would be easier if I could see an example.

I recently had a photo shoot with a 1 1/2 yr old...it was a great shoot we just let her do whatever she wanted and posed her here and there..unfortunately when dealing with a toddler I have to go with what I got and there are some sun spots on her legs and face and such. Using photoshop and the clone and healing tool I am able to minimize them, but still are visible...any suggestions on using these tools, like what am I suppose to be picking as a size or source??

I have attached a shot and you can see that the spot is still there...I tried the burn tool but didn't like that much at all.

Also, I am assuming the yellowing hue is due to my White balance being auto...it was under shade.

I am shooting with Nikon D80, 400 iso and a -3 on the fill flash.
