Default problem with painted ceiling

Hi, I have recently painted by spare bedroom ceiling - thinking I had
done a good job. However when it has dryed there are patches where I
think I have applied too much paint, resulting in areas of 'stipple'
effect. Has anyone got any quick fixes to make it look better than it
does?

Thanks

Alec

Spot sand it if you must, but it'll look worse if you only half sand it, and bad if you oversand it.
