Today I discovered that Lightroom's new Dehaze tool is fantastic for locating dust spots on your photos. Crank it up to 100 and every blasted dust spot on your image is instantly highly visible. Clone/heal them as you normally do, then reset the Dehaze tool to whatever setting is desired and proceed with processing your image.
Yes, I realize that LR has a tool just for this purpose but I'm not a big fan of it. I find using the Dehaze tool to be much more effective. Just thought I'd share this discovery as some of you might find it useful.
Bret, thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. I have been using the current tool without any discernible issues; I'd like to learn what your lack of enthusiasm for it is based on.
Craig: I have a hard time seeing the dust spots with the current tool. Must be my eyes, because I know people who find it to be fantastic, but it doesn't work for me.
