To find the dust you also can do a "ZigZag Curve" aka Solarize effect on a layer. Granted the image looks weird, but you see all the places where something funky is going on.

Hi Paul, thanks for that. Yet another tutorial showing the benefits of layers with raw editing! An alternative is to use the Capture One LCC tool which will automatically remove dust spots as well as colour casts. However you need to make a separate exposure with a piece of perspex in front of the lens either just before or after the actual image(s) you want. You can get a filter from teamworkphoto (UK) or maybe directly from Phase One. Bit more laborious at the shooting stage but saves loads of time in post.
@Paulreiffer4 жыл бұрын
The LCC is great - BUT, it won't always work on any front element dust (*and* you need to make sure your white perspex is perfectly clean - something I've seen people miss before!). Beyond that, if you're using a filter holder (which also have a cast and potential to pick up dust "dings") - you'll struggle to hold that card in from of a heavy setup for the 1-2 minutes worth of exposure you need (trust me, I've tried with my own)... All in all, it's probably an 80-90% job with the white card, but I'd still then want to inspect the image up-close to see the bits it missed. As such, I don't tend to bother, as I'll be inspecting all areas of the image in post anyway.

Thanks, another useful video.

Would it be possible to create a yuck-layer style and just apply this to a layer for dust identification only?

Two questions: 1.Can I save the Dust Finder settings as a style or preset, then copy them each time I need them? 2. Copy the Dust Removal layer to a series of photos in the same format (landscape or portrait)at the same time? The dust spots will be in the same places.

Hi Max, Yes - absolutely for the finder, you can save it as a User Style and apply to multiple images, and tweak them later :-) For the removal layer, be very, very, careful. If the subject/scene is identical, and nothing at all has changed (not composition, not a thing) then it's probably safe. But remember, the origins of any healing brush will pick up new sources if anything moves at all...
@MikeNelsonPedde4 жыл бұрын
Max: Since you're using sliders from more than one group, you need to create a Style. Presets in C1 only work with one group of sliders. The easiest way to do this is to right-click on your YUCK-DELETE layer and select Save Settings as Style. To use it again on another image, create a new filled layer, label it (YUCK-DELETE) and then right-click and choose Apply Adjustments From/ User Styles/whateveryoucalledthestyle

Absolutely - you can, and you can save the adjustments as a style for the dust-finder layer (make sure you click the boxes next to "Exposure" and "Details" when you do so :-).

So why not have a one-click dust spot visualisation tool, like Lightroom? It should not be necessary to go to these lengths to see the dust spots, and even then this method would not pick up as many as Lightroom, or as reliably. In the absence of C1 doing anything about this glaring omission, this is as good a method of visualising dust spots in C1 as I have seen. As you say, not much fun when you get back that big, expensive print and find you have missed a spot: even small or relatively faint spots glare out at you once you know they are there.
@Paulreiffer4 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I'm not a fan of the one-click scenarios. Whether Capture One will release one is up to them, but having used the Lightroom function extensively, I must say I don't like how blunt of a tool it is. Indeed, I've seen the Lightroom tool expose "spots" that weren't actual spots, and on the other hand, sometimes "hide" them in certain situations. Those individual sliders can, and should, be adjusted to suit the image (high ISO at night, low contrast, over-exposed, etc etc). The little tweaks can make finding spots easier or harder, so a blanket tool can't entirely take that into consideration. The option of just setting the layer as a style and applying it to other images means you have, essentially, a two-click Capture One option in future - but more importantly, it's then possible to be further fine-tuned based on the image in question. And yes - the killer "oh crap" moment when you spot a tiny blemish on a huge print is just cruel... ;-)
@notdisclosed97454 жыл бұрын
@Paul Reiffer. Thank you for the reply. The Lightroom visualisation is not one click, the density is variable. Typically I use it at around 70% opacity on fit-to-screen view to see the worst spots, deal with them, then move up to 100% density to deal with the harder to see ones, before going over the image at 100% size view. Usually it is necessary to drop the opacity of the visualisation when checking at 100% size view. The visualisation tool often does not show up spots well in textured areas such as clouds, so I use a method similar to yours as well, which is to examine the image with dehaze pushed up to 100%. All too often, one method shows up spots that the other does not. The tools are complementary, not alternatives. C1 does not have one click dehaze either, although you can get close to it using the tools presently available, but there is no way of emulating the Lightroom threshold-type visualisation. For my use, I could not move over to C1 without the equivalent of Lightroom’s visualisation, it is too fundamental to my workflow for full quality assurance, which is a great pity because I would like to do this.

@Not Disclosed (?!) So, what you've just said is that the Lightroom tool isn't actually sufficient on its own! - [quote] "The (Lightroom) visualisation tool often does not show up spots well in textured areas such as clouds, so I use a method similar to yours as well, which is to examine the image with dehaze pushed up to 100%" Meaning - you're going to end up using a similar method in Lightroom as I'd suggest using in C1 anyway. Hence I don't understand why you feel you need the pointless visualisation tool, if you're going to have to go over the entire image with that secondary process anyway. Why not just start with that process, and get it 100% right (catching ALL dust spots) from the beginning? BUT - that said, if you feel Lightroom is the best tool for your workflow, then genuinely, stick with it. I have no interest in sales ;-)
