RT: No spot removal tool?

It would be nice if it was as efficient as FastStone’s…

Do you have an algorithm to provide ? I’m open to make this spot healing tool as efficient as possible, but I’m only a GUI guy and rely on code sample for the engine part. Maybe @heckflosse or @agriggio know where to find that ?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious to know if this feature is anywhere on the roadmap :smiley:
I’m very interested in this tool, especially when it comes to despeckling film scans - it would be much more convenient than opening in an external editor such as GIMP or darktable.
Thanks.

If they are small specks, you may want to try impulse noise reduction.

It has been implemented in ART (a fork of RT) if you want to try it out.

At this time RT could be said to be in a feature development phase.

  1. @desmis has produced a pull request to merge the newlocallab into dev, the main development branch of RT.

  2. If @Hombre is ready, now would be an opportune moment to make a PR for the spot-removal-tool clone/healer tool.

I just tried one of the nightly builds, and spot removal is indeed included, and I’m a bit ecstatic about it to be honest.

It works super well!

If this goes into the next official release, it’s gonna be a game changer IMHO.

As it’s in dev, you can be quite sure it will be in next official release.
