  spot healing in AE

  Posted by Remy Mainz on August 22, 2009 at 11:39 am

  Hi
  I need some way to spot heal, like in photoshop, but in AE.

  I have a 10k photo time lapse with a few spots from dirt on the CCD.
  AE doesnt seems to have anything like spot healing unfortunately and photoshop wont let me use actions with the spot healer so Im a bit stuck.

  Any ideas?

  Im sure this would help a lot of people

  thanks joe ger

  Its funny how you always think of a way to do it after you write to a forum.

  I removed the spots by

  1 creating an adjustment layer
  2 drawing masks around the spots
  3 feathering the masks , 5 pixels worked well for me
  4 add a levels effect to the layer
  5 set levels gamma to 1.04, ie slightly lighter , adjust yourself until it looks good

  I’m glad you got it figured out. I was going to say there’s a tutorial here on the COW about it, but you’ve already got it solved!
