easy way for very minor dust?
This picture of my sister I took a few years ago with a (by now probably obsolete but then) new digital camera. It was one of the first pictures I took with it but it seems to have some dust I can never really get out. http://capsandgownsnow.com/DSCF0031.JPG Should I be using tools instead of filters or is there an easy way out with dust this minor that actually works, and dosen't blur the picture too much? |

Here,s an easy way. To remove the dust in the hair I did the following: 1. Marqueed the head and copid to a new layer. 2. Changed the blending mode of that layer to Darken (for dark spots use Lighten instead) 3. Nudged the new layer a few pixels down and to the left until satisfied with the result. 4. Added a layer mask and covered everything except the dust. The result is this  _________________ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Re: easy way for very minor dust?
One quick and easy way I sometimes use is this. Select Dust and Scratches Set Threshold to about 13 and Radius to about 8 Set the Historu brush to the Dust and Scratches history state set yourthen go back to the last step above the D & S Now use the history brush to paint over the scratches.  |
