Paged Dust Spotting


When using the Spot or Clone tools to remove dust spots you often want to make sure you cover the whole of the image. Even if you are just spotting the sky it is good to examine and correct all of it.

In Lightroom 2 you can use the Page Down and Page Up keys to methodically move around the whole of the image.

Lightroom 2 Spot correction

Here is how I do it:

  • Open the Navigator viewer and choose your magnification level. Above I have chosen 1:2
  • Now position the magnified area at the top left of the screen
  • Use Page Down to step down the screen in chunks
  • when you reach the bottom of the first column the Navigator viewport will jump to the top of the second column
Spot as you go and keep paging down to cover the whole image.

Hope this helps.
