DustBust

DustBust allows you to remove dirt and scratches from scanned images by painting over them with pixels from another frame or another part of the same frame. It clones multiple areas from a source to a destination based on dust points you create by Ctrl/Cmd+clicking in the Viewer. The source position can be different for each dust point.
