h_d Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 "Does not seem to work" could be open to many interpretations. As far as I can see: With 32-bit RGB images, both Live and Destructive versions of the filter are disabled (greyed out). With 8-bit and 16-bit RGB images, the filter has some effect at low tolerances but doesn't add what I would consider to be dust, scratches or both: Screen Recording 2019-04-13 at 10.27.26.mov (the video is 16-bit Destructive). Similar effects with LAB colour - haven't had time to test this, or CMYK, or checking and unchecking the Channel Tolerance button. (I have Metal enabled - haven't tried the other way.)

h_d Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 As an example (and to cover my earlier embarrassment): I have an intractably stuck piece of dirt on my sensor which shows up as a dark mark in plain sky backgrounds. I could get rid of the mark using Dust and Scratches by creating a Live Filter layer, adjusting the settings until the mark is no longer visible, then inverting the Live Filter layer and painting over the mark in white: Screen Recording 2019-04-14 at 09.00.23.mov However, for a quick fix I reckon it's probably more effective to use the Inpainting Brush - certainly fewer steps.

srg Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Not sure i follow that logic, yes it works, but why not using the inpainting brush tool. One step instead of three...and yes you mentioned that. But I think that there must be another reason for that dust and scratched otherwise just useless unless for older photo or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The Inpainting Brush is destructive. I suppose if you wanted to keep the original dusty scratchy image then you could use a live filter.

Staff Gabe Posted April 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi all. @srg you still have not confirmed what @>|< was asking... Is your document 32 bit? Were you using it incorrectly? (thinking it adds dust and scratches rather than removing them) Can we close this issue now? Thanks, Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 No, I was not using the 32 bit. sorry if I overlooked this, and yes I was thinking it would add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
