Can someone please show me what hot pixels and sensor dust looks like?
I think I have some one my picture that I took for the Multiple Light Sources challenge but I don't want a DQ so I want to make sure I don't clone out anything I shouldn't. BTW it is Basic Editing so I can't do much but clone out sensor dust or hot pixels.

A hot pixel is like an individual bright white (or red/blue/green) pixel. Zoom right in to the image in PS, and if you see the pixel as a single bright one, with perhaps a few surrounding pixels lit up, then that's a hot pixel.

Sensor dust looks like a small grey blob.
