This is a great way to save pain in post processing as long as you have a way to automate your cleanup. The whole photoshop suite is great for dust cleanup. There are also a lot of other steps to take to remove or reduce the impact of dust on your sensor. I put together a summary here: http://blogs.adamparkerphotography.com/blog/Ive-got-sensor-dust-what-should-I-do/13/ Thanks again for the tip. When I pick up my copy of lightroom, I'll sure be taking advantage of better automation. While dust is usually not a show stopper, it sure can be a pain in the neck and a big waster of time.

It's pretty easy. You just alt click on the "good" area which will be cloned over the top of the dust spot, but make sure the opacity is set to a low percentage (I usually set mine around 15%), otherwise you'll end up seeing the circle around it. If you play with it, you'll see what I'm saying. I wish I could be more graphic, but I'm at my "real" work right now and can't recall specifically the steps I have used before.

It seems to have worked. A friend told me about it. You take the end of the hose and put duck tape on it. Then you cut a hole in the center with a screw or something. Very carefully hold the end up to the camera. I had my husband hold the vacuum, I held the camera. So far so good. I have never used anything to remove them in the picture if they were there, I don't have Lightroom. Does Elements remove spots. I just didn't use the photo. I am not a Photoshop girl.

What a time savings. Now with 2.0 released I guess it's time I finally buy it. That one feature alone makes Lightroom worth the cost, even cameras with dust removal systems show an occasional spot.
