408 dust spots removed
Batch dust removal built for scanned film, where every frame’s dust is different. Not just sensor spots in the same place on every shot.
For flatbed, film scanner and camera scans.
See how fast DustMagic processes a real folder of dusty scans from start to finish.
The dust mask shows exactly what was removed on every image.
Tune the settings for a folder of 50, 500 or 5,000 scans. DustMagic processes every image in parallel using all your CPU cores.
Not a simple filter or generative AI. Multiple independent detection stages work together — cross-checking each other — to separate real dust from image detail with a precision no single method can match.
Keeps full resolution and bit depth, even for large files. Detects dark or light dust.
Adjust detection on one image with instant visual feedback, then apply it to the whole batch. Save your settings as a profile to reuse on future runs.
See the dust mask for every image in the app. Overlay, split view and zoom up to 20x.
Click a missed speck to add it, right-click a false detection to remove it, then export. You can also touch up scratches by hand.
Works directly on your saved images or from within Lightroom or Photoshop.
Point DustMagic at your scans: TIFF or JPEG, a folder, and optionally its subfolders.
Dial in detection settings on one image, preview and adjust on a few more. When it looks right, click Process Batch.
Cleaned files go to a ‘cleaned’ subfolder with the same file names, metadata and ICC profile. Originals are never modified. Review with overlay, split or mask views, then carry on in your editor.
