Ok, This is related to the topic, however the photo's i'm showing are offtopic (none joe related).
I got using photoplus the other day. I took what I considered to be a decent shot of Marvel Legends Mr.Sinister. Across the Kitchen Window at around 2:40am with the moonlight behind him. The effect was fantastic. Yet again I was faced with hot pixel spots all over my photo.
See here:
Obviously I didn't want to trash this picture. I read up that these are stored spots for when the ISO setting is too high. However I only have 2 options on my camera. 100 or 200. So my actual options are limited when it comes to night time shots.
I had a quick mess around with Photoplus and decided to give colour pickup tool a bash. Using this tool is really good. It's like a select tool for colours that are in the photograph that aren't primary colours from the colour palette.
Using this tool, and meticulously picking each colour to replace the areas effected I redone the shot edited and attempted to turn it into a better picture.
It took me a while to go through and remove the spots, but i think the effort was worth it, has anyone here done something similar, even with a Joe related picture?
