DCU 5 Hotpixel

Simon K · 06-18-2021, 04:38 AM

Hello! I wonder if there's a way to get rid of hot pixels in DCU that I just couldn't find yet. Something similar to the Hot pixel filter in Rawtherapee? Hot pixels can be an issue for me when I shoot with my 6MP CCD Pentax because there's no way to map them in camera. The Reason I'm asking is I sometimes prefer the white balance in DCU over Rawtherapee's. To work on the white balanced file furtheron in RT I save it as a Tif in DCU that I open in RT again, but still with occuring hot pixels existing. The problem is with Tif files RT's Hot pixel filter is not available, so it would be handy to eliminate hot pixels in DCU already.

I had a look for this in the DCU Laboratory functions, and there really isn't a hot pixel / dark pixel function. There's some noise removal and spotting capabilities.

Not too happy to hear there really is none, but thanks Prof for confirming it.

I couldn't find anyway of doing it in DCU 5 either.
