Staubkarte / Dustcard

Post by wiedehopf »

Hello, it seem to me, that english langueage is needed....?

I am using Helicon Focus Premium 7.6.4. with a WIN 10 64-bit PC.

Just a short question: Usually the function "Dustcard" is used with a white background. Would it also work when trying to get rid of dust on black background and thus would it bei possible to use a black dustcard?

Thanks for information!

Hello! Feel free to post in your preferred language, but if you post in English, your message will be easily accessible to more users.

You can use a black dust map to remove "hot"/"stuck" pixels (those that always produce a signal, even in absence of any light). But actual dust will not be visible on a black background.
You can also use a half-exposed background (near 50% gray) to remove both dust (black specks) and hot pixels (bright dots) at the same time.
