Does anyone out there know if there is a way of automatically cleaning photos with bad smear marks from a dirty sensor? I was hoping that there might be a method of creating dust delete data from some of thousands of images I took on a recent trip to Australia, and using these in Phortoshop CS4.
I started photoshop using CS5 and now CS6 so not completely sure if CS4 would work the same. Since these photos all have the same dirt spots, it might work if
1. you use action to record the steps you use to remove the spots (I use the patch tool, some people use the spot healing brush) for one picture. Name and save the action.
2. You can use either Photoshop or Bridge to do this. I always use Bridge and select the Image Processor function. Highlight all files you want run then
3. Within the Image Processor menu, there's an option called Set other processing options. Select Runs a Photoshop action. Choose the action that you saved.
4. Choose save as jpg option if that's what you want
4. Click Run
Photoshop will start and automatically run the action and then save for each of the picture. I've used this a lot for changing brightness and exposures except I haven't used it for removing spots. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
