P: Use AI to Auto Detect Dirt or Dust in Photos

[lanacole]

With all of the advancements in AI these days, I feel like there might be a way to auto detect dirt or dust in photos. As much as I wish I was on top of keeping my sensor clean on my camera, sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't notice as I'm shooting and end up taking hours during post processing removing all of the dirt marks. It would be awesome if Lr could somehow detect when there is a dark spot in the sky or ground and auto delete it (or at least give the option to).

Can we please get AI dust removal.

Single click, adjust amount, before / after, add / subtract, run on single or mutiple images.

Thanks

You might want to upvote your request as all votes count and the more you get the more likely your suggestion will be considered.

and also have the fixed image carry over to an HDR Pano.

Now that would be a useful use of AI!

All these new features and no command to clean images and files of debris prior to printing? 
unreal. Unacceptable

Can you tell us more about the debris you are talking about? If you are in need of removing spots in the image caused by dust spots on the camera sensor, you have two ways to deal with that. 1. Keep your sensor clean. 2. Are you familiar with the develop module check box "Visualize Spots"? You find that in the Develop module, Spot Healing Tool, little check box on the lower left.

I prefer to deal with spots manually. I would not want LrC to be removing things from the image that I don't want it to.

I too would love to see an AI-driven option that auto-detects spots and offers to remove them, but as Lightroom does have the tools to do this manually, I think that words like 'unreal' or 'unacceptable' are over the top. Just curious, is there other software that already offers this?

Not at a computer to test, but perhaps:

• Automatically Remove Sensor Dust ON1 Photo RAW 2025
• Easy Dust Spot Removal with Luminar Neo
• The new Capture One AI Remove Dust tool in action: it’s very good!

Moderator, perhaps consider merging this post into an earlier one:

That is a Photoshop ideas forum. I moved this to Lightroom Classic ideas (and changed the title).
