P: Extend “Remove Dust” to Handle Sensor Damage / Dead Pixels

Hi Adobe team 👋

First of all, I want to say how impressed I am with the new “Remove Dust” feature in Camera Raw. It works incredibly well — the AI mapping and automatic cleanup of lens dust is a huge time-saver and very accurate.

I’d love to suggest an extension of this feature to cover other types of image contamination, especially dead or burned pixels caused by sensor damage. In my case, my camera sensor was hit by a laser, and now I have a few fixed pixel spots that appear in every photo. When I use a fixed lens, the position stays consistent, which makes it easier to correct. But with zoom lenses, the location of the damaged pixels shifts slightly, so I have to manually fix each image one by one.

It would be amazing if Camera Raw could include a “Remove Pixel Damage” option — something that detects and corrects these recurring pixel artifacts across a batch of images. I believe this could be implemented similarly to the dust removal logic, and it would help many photographers dealing with aging sensors or accidental damage.

Thanks for considering this idea, and congrats again on the great work with the current AI tools!
