		<description><![CDATA[A smattering dust can really ruin a good scan. Watching the local film processing guy drop your neg on his putrid floor (imbecile!) can raise your blood pressure faster than you can say C41!

So I've been having problems with little smatterings of dust on most of my scans. And the scanner I use doesn't have Digital ICE (it's an old Minolta - keepin' it real). After using a few of the available software-based anti-dust systems out there, I remained unconvinced. On the discussion boards, people were saying to do it by hand. For bigger bits, sure, but a billion tiny grains...?

I decided it was simple to do better. I wrote (in the loosest sense) a Photoshop action which reduces dust, but doesn't remove all the grain from the photo.

It is does all this with a difference matte made from the original (dusty) image, and a version that has been run through the Photoshop Dust &#38; Scratches filter. Old school like.

It aint fancy. (download after the <a href="http://www.rogers.id.au/blog/2008/05/11/blowing-dust/">jump</a>)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[May we all see like insects: light fields and plenoptic lenses. There could well be an interesting shift in specialised photography where extracting 3D data from digital images shot with either special lenses or sensors (and with a lot of post-processing/number crunching) become useful tools for VFX practitioners. (Full disclosure: like most people, I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is interesting when you are scouring on the web for the newest thing&#8482;&#8212;be it the RED camera, or anything else&#8212;that so many reviews are now done by new owners writing on their own blogs. Some of them write excellent appraisals, some of them don&#8217;t. &#8220;Traditional media&#8221; reviews can be much the same; but usually [...]]]></description>
