[Ben Edwards] “Was wondering if it was possible to set a qualifier on white pixels so I can turn them down.”

Stuck pixels don’t move around (but moving objects in the picture content obviously complicates the correction) so what I normally do is crate a teensy weensy power window and set a blur so that the pixel is naturally migrating towards whatever the adjacent pixel values are.

This approach breaks down whenever an edge crosses the qualifier, so it requires a keyframe/tweak. So the technique either works a treat or (depending on picture activity) is more trouble than its worth.

However, it doesn’t require any plugins or roundtripping pass-back and forth.

I use your power window technique as well, but I usually do a noise reduction rather than a blur. Blur is less resource intensive (won’t slow down the machine) but NR will be less visible.
