We present Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) hard X-ray images in different energy bands for the large X-class flare of 2002 July 23; these images are used to construct spatially resolved hard X-ray spectra for each of four prominent features: a bright, soft source high in the corona, two localized, hard footpoints in opposite polarity magnetic regions that show highly correlated flux and spectral variations in time, and a third footpoint bounded by the other three sources. The power-law spectral indices of the two correlated footpoints differ by ~0.3-0.4, which may be the result of differing column densities from the electron source.
