Spot the Spots!
Hi guys, Ill buy a drink for the first person to identify the Cmos dust spots on this rejection!! Maybe I can send the screeners some screen cloths ;-) hehehe http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=2048978 Seriously though.. I cant find them so I cant re-upload until someone does!! Oh, im in a place where I can spot from the pool (seriously!) and be brought cocktails as I wait for the next movement!! Sorry, but its true! Aaron

Sorry... think I should have probably posted in photography section, but I feel its a simple seek and destroy kind of post... Please move (moderators) if you like :-)

Aaron you've got one by the left edge about three quarters of the way down. You, I and other ordinary mortals need to equalise to see the dust spots. The screeners see them with their eyes closed. :wink: Charles

Hi Aaron... long time no see mate!! If you use the equalize tool in photoshop, the dust spots start to appear. I drew some arrows abeam the dust spots... if you want to remove them, there are quite a few mathods to do so.... personaly I use the cloning method. The CS3 has the function to remove dust and scratches for example (You choose!) Hope this aided you and if you need further help, that's what we're here for :wink: :wink:

Wow... thank you guys!! I just needed someone's fresh eyes!! Maybe its all the Ouzo!! Just another 4 images to investigate but ill use your advice. Only other problem I have is an Iphone with V2.0 that's now completely locked out. Has all my daily flight info :-(

charlespolidano- 08-06-2008

Surely they don't unless it's to confirm what they're already seeing first hand? Otherwise why reject a photo for dust spots if they're invisible without equalising? Screeners wouldn't be that nit-picky, would they? On second thoughts ... don't answer that ... C

AaronB- 08-09-2008

ok... just to get back on topic ;-) I can equalise the image, but what should I do to remove the spots.. just remember where they are? I tried and when I check back it looks a mess... I think I cloned IN more spots hahaha. Help!!

I think I cloned IN more spots hahaha. Help!! Follow these 5 steps Aaron: 1) Equalize the image 2) Click on the clone tool and drag the mouse to a point approx. 1cm away from the dust spot (but not on the dust spot). From the keyboard press Alt (keep on pressing Alt) and by using the mouse perform a left click. 3) Drag the mouse on the dust spot now. 4) Press Alt + Ctrl + Z from the keyboard. 5) Now left click on the unequalized image to remove the dust spot (On the upper left hand corner of the screen you will find the word Brush with an arrow next to it. Click on the arrow and set the Hardness to 0% in order to avoid avident patching). If you need any help just ask us. Ryan
