Addressing Dust/Artifacting
Hello everyone,
I’ve got some footage, which contains… well, let’s call it dust, for the lack of a better word. You can see a sample still here: https://www.udachi.org/Meeting.jpg
My task is to get rid of that stuff.Now, I could fix it the long and stupid way, of course, i.e., rotoscope it. But I wonder if there is a more elegant way to address this problem.
Perhaps something I could try with blending modes?
Would love to hear your ideas…
Thanks!
Michael

This may or may not work, but you might want to check out Maltaannon’s tutorial on removing watermarks. I haven’t watched it for a while, but it came to mind when reading about your problem.

Hmmm…. This technique might work if I duplicate the layer, and tweak the colors of the new layer in such a way that dust particles change to the opposite side of the color spectrum. Then do a Channel -> Invert, mask the particles, then track the masks.
This could work, i suppose… _if_ I can get the masks.
In any case, it’s definitely an interesting approach, which I will try. Thanks, Simon.
