Photo problem

[debrasnow11]

Hello,

I don't have much experience with digital photos. I recently I took a picture of my son and his girlfriend at graduation and there is a blue dot in the picture. I am wondering if there is a way to remove this flaw? Thanks,in advance, for any help or advice.

My camera is a Fuji FinePix S700.

aside from the blue dot, the photo is a bit out of focus and noisy,
the blue dot can be corrected in post processing by using quickmask to select the blue area and put it in another layer to correct it with curves and/or hue and saturation. after correcting the blue dot, you can sharpen it a little and adjust in levels for more brightness.
hope this helps.

Thank you! I appreciate your suggestions and help.

Nice fix! And what a cute couple! The blue dot looks like lens flare-- this happens if you are taking a picture with the camera facing towards the light source (sun, lamp, etc.). The light bounces around inside your lens and causes those colorful dots on the picture. It's always better to have the sun at your back if possible.
