How many times have you used the Healing Brush (or Clone Tool) in Photoshop to make a dust spot or spot disappear from your image ONLY to find out the 'spot' is on your LCD screen or CRT!!!!!!

I have....tons!!!!!!!

sighs!!!!!!! Am I the ONLY one?

Hmm I can tell the difference between spots on my screen and spots on the picture. Even then, I usually zoom in quite a bit when using that tool because I want to affect as little an area as possible and if it's on the screen zooming won't affect it :)

Hehehe, been there. I've learned where every non-wipable spot is on my screen so it doesn't usually catch me anymore. I preferr the clone tool by the way, I've found the healing brush to be too erractic for my tastes.

Join the club!!! I have encountered it frequently but scrolling up and down takes away any doubt. The spotless people definitely have an advantage here. Cloning works fine, but on detailed places it can be a tough job. Sometimes it gives the feeling of the old vinyl discs with that special sounds but now as visual.... :)

Got an easy way to get "white out" off the screen?

I've done this in the past, and learnt my lesson. Now I scroll the image to be absolutley sure of what Im trying to remove. But yeah...I've done it too ;)
