Some of the gods probably know this already, but I thought I'd post this anyway in case you don't.

OK, so you just spent 5 days waiting for your final render to finish, but OMG! - Vicky's left eye doesn't quite match her right eye, or you forgot to make sure that little dog in the background was facing the right way.....whatever.

Here's the thing -
Save your final render.
Click to go back to your wire-frame.
Make that tiny little adjustment.
Click to go back to your render.(DO NOT HIT THE MAIN RENDER BUTTON)
Click & Drag over the part you adjusted and hit the plop-render button.
Wait for the plop-render to finish.
Now, click the little down-arrow next to the plop-render window and select 'collapse section'.
Your re-rendered part should now match the rest of your pic!

...and you just saved 5 days re-rendering your big pic!

Well it works for me!
