Lightroom’s Dust Removal - Fast, Smart, and Almost Perfect
In this tutorial, I take a straightforward look at the new Dust section of Distraction Removal in Lightroom Classic. It’s a welcome upgrade — faster, smarter, and a real time-saver for cleaning up sensor dust and small blemishes. I’ll show you how it works and where you still need to step in as the final quality check. It does a great job finding most of the dust spots automatically, but it’s not perfect. I’ll demonstrate how to verify the results, reveal any missed spots, and tidy up the rest with Lightroom’s traditional Healing tools.
If you’ve ever dreaded hunting down those tiny sensor marks in your skies, this new feature will save you time — as long as you know its limits. Let Lightroom do the heavy lifting, and then finish the job like a pro.
