Clone Tool - Source first?

Hi Joanna

Have a look at these suggestions

Repair tool : lighten-only and darken-only options

For dark objects to be removed, make an option to conditionally repair based on the luminance. This would be very useful for example when removing sensor dust spots, or removing tree branches fron the sky background. Ditto for high luminance noise, such as dust on a scanned printed image.

Dust removal by correlation in image set without reference

suggestion: Photolab compares pictures in a user-selected set of images. The feature detects dust by correlation, where dust is the signal to be found and each actual image is considered as noise. This process could find the noise without a reference image. This would be followed by batch cleaning of the whole set.
