Please Help - Editing/Rejection advice

[Eagle Park]

I have had this photo rejected for Dirty Scan/CMOS Dust Spots and Bad info. I think I have found the additional info I require but for the life of me cant see the dust spots that are referred. Can someone please assist with this? The light coloured spot on the prop is a marking on the propeller looking at my other images from this shoot. Not sure if that is what they picked up on?

Here were the ones i could spot through PS. JP's equalization tool is better but my queue is full so I can't check it there.

Nice photo, but if you load it in PS or LR and equalize the tones, you will see a number of spots, such as a large spot on the upper right quarter of the photo and another just above the antenna.
To easiely find any spots use the "Check for dust" tool in the queue; its very powerful and will show any dust spots
I hope this helps,

Excellent, thanks for pointing that up. What is the best way of removing these dust spots from my images?

Thanks AKH, that is great. What is the best way to remove these spots once you have found them?

In PS
- load the photo
- duplicate the layer
- equalize tones in the duplicated layer
- select the repair tool, select the suitable size
- in the layer overview activate the original (backgtround layer). The duplicated layer remains visible in the main window.
- in that duplicated layer, klick on each visible spot. Note: the spot will not disappear in this layer!
- once done, delete the duplicated layer (not merge with the original in the background layer!). You will see now the cleaned original.
- check the result by equlize the tones again (best on another copied layer)
- repeat the process if any spots remained


If you are not sure about the workflow in PS or LR, check the several tutorials on youtube. (I just found this, but there are many others):

Couple of things I do. There's a nice website that is very similar to JP equalization tool that will show the spots: Equalize image online (pinetools.com)

Also, if you are using Lightroom Classic, they have a spot removal tool that will show the spots and will heal them as well. This is one of my edits I'll be uploading soon to the queue and what the visualization looks like in LrC when you're checking.

Thanks Delta95Heavy, that is helpful, I will give the pinetools website a crack too and see how we go.

Thanks for your help on your on my other thread, this has now been closed. Is there any way to change the tile of this thread to make it more clear for posting pre-screening images?

I have had a photo rejected for "similar photo uploaded", however I don't currently have any photos accepted in my portfolio. I have also done some checking and there is only one other image of this aircraft on the system but from a totally different angle.

Just wondering if I have maybe missed something or miss understood the rejection reason?
