Also I don't generally show photos with mistakes or test shots but this bride wanted to go through the photos right after we finished =/

Blows my mind too. There was so much wrong with this shot it is not even funny. But hey if she liked it then I guess its okay. But I would be wary of what this might do for ones reputation.

I have CS3 and first used the eye dropper tool to sample the skin closest to the sun spot to get the right color. Then I used the magic wand tool to select the sun spot. I then used the paint bucket with the opacity turned down to like 20% and clicked inside the sun spot a few times till it was close to the skin color and then clicked deselect. It worked quite nicely if I don't say so myself. :)

You're a crafty one aren't ya.

"Right after" as in right after you were done shooting? I don't mind people looking at a few, but going through the whole thing is a big no no. Plus I always tell them that I shoot raw, what they see is not what they get, no matter how good/bad they look on the tiny LCD.

Make it a habit not to "chimp" too much either, people tend to ask to see what you looking at and it gets annoying.

Yup, right after. This is a friend of a some friends and we all took a road trip to this location so on the car ride home she asked to look at the photo's.
