When I use the spot removal tool it seems to exchange white spots for dark ones. Not much improvement in picture. I tried different tool sizes and opacities.
See the attachments. thanks,

This tool is inadequate for cleanup of spots of the type you have here. There are tools in other applications that can do a much better job.

The situation you describe is an argument for changing the spot removal tool to an "intelligent" tool that samples the area surrounding the spot rather than the user having to designate the area for the sample.
