Among my (long, long) list of things I need to do, I need to go out and take more photos. Or stay inside and take more photos. I just need to take more photos. I have not done that recently, however today I’ve been editing some. My fiancé has some images – mostly scans of old photos – he needed cleaned up before he could use them, and I’ve taken up that task.
Most of these photos just need some straightening and light cropping. There’s usually a lightish scattering of dust spots that need taken out, as well as the occasional crease.
However.
The last one I’ve been working on has had So Many Dust Spots that I wanted to share it. Or at least a small fraction of it.
But first, here is a screenshot of a photo I took that you may have seen in this post.
Do you see all those little dots and circles all over the image? Those are dust specs that I removed in Camera RAW.
Previously, that was the most I’ve had to deal with in one image. That looks like a bunch, right? Well, I have a new record with the image I’m working on restoring now. Take a look at this small fraction of an image.
All those circles? Yeah. Dust spots and other similar blemishes. This is a piece of sky in the image I’m working on, and I’m not finished yet. This is just part of the small junk I need to get rid of in order to make getting rid of some bigger junk easier.
I hope you enjoyed this wordier-than-normal post about what I’m currently up to. Let me know if you like this sort of thing, and I may try to do more posts like this.
