I'm told that dirt on the sensor will leave white specks, as the
dust blocks the light from the pixels. So these aren't dirt.
They're not a problem to eliminate with the Healing tool in PS, but
I wonder... What are they? Am I the only one to have
them? And... what do I do about them?
David Young,
Not true. Dust on my Canon digital shots show up as the same gray
blobs. I have the Visible Dust brushes, but you can get any soft
make-up brush and wash the sizing out of it. Spray it with
compressed air to make it static. Use the mirror up or cleaning
feature on the Canon to get to the sensor. Remember that the dust
will be in reverse from what you see on your files. Draw the brush
lightly across the sensor. Take a picture of a white wall or the sky
defocused to check for dust. Repeat if necessary. To prevent dust,
don't change your lenses in dusty places and be sure to turn the
camera off before you change lenses.
