[PRODIG] Photoshop help, highlighted skin

[Anthony Harrison]

Probably very basic for those who retouch skin constantly, but I'd like a 
tip. An otherwise acceptably toned raw file showing a waiter's bare arm 
reaching toward a table has the back of the hand horribly bleached from a 
stray sunbeam: detail is all but burned out. I'm working on it in 16-bit 
conversion using CS on a PC. Painting the hand darker looks naff & 
artificial; I've tried patching bits of adjacent hairy arm on to it, and 
using (for the first time) the clone stamp tool, but without success. How 
would others tackle this - re-shoot another hand and copy/clone, or what?

Regards, Tony H
