| It occured to me as I was deciding which shot to submit for the black and white challenge, that I sometimes edit a single pixel out of my shots. My camera's sensor has what I like to call a "dead pixel" (not sure what the technical term might be). Depending on the color of that area of the image, that pixel sometimes isn't a big problem, as is the case with the photo I decided to submit, but other times there's a single bright red pixel (or white in B&W) in the middle of something thats not at all red. I usually fix this by using the eyedropper tool on a nearby pixel and penciling that color into the bad pixel. Does this count as spot editing? |

Yes it does. You may be able to clean the hot pixel using NeatImage or using Photoshop's Dust & Scratches filter.

I know a SC member will correct me if i am wrong, but this is considered spot editing. Although it is nothing major, it is still moving a single pixel. Basic editing rules states that you may only apply changes to the entire image in itself. Unfortuantely, the hot pixel or "dead" pixel is a problem so if you are finding it very difficult, you may want to invest in a new camera.
