Why is the spot tool still only letting me do about 100 spots?

    I don't think they changed the limit.

    Maybe the limit change was for healing and cloning only? I believe both of those have an unlimited amount of use.

    Yes, the "no limit" is only for healing and cloning tools, not for the spot tool, where the limit is still 100.

    And you might get on better with the new healing tool than with the spot tool.

    Did anyone try yet to copy a heal layer to another image to heal sensor dust/spots?

    @Ian Yes, sometimes the healing tool works well for spots. I feel the performance of it is behind the Affinity In-painting tool though. One of the things I like about spot is that it is quicker. Perhaps it just has to do with it being a new tool and this will be fixed in later versions.

    @BeO I haven't tried that. I think I can see the use. If the spots were in the same area. Is that how you are using it?

    I don't have so many visible spots usually, but that's how I would use it, if it is on sensor most of them should be at the same location, and the healing layer mask should be relative to the uncropped image, I hope... i don't have 20.1 installed yet.

    If one has a lot of persistent dust spots - from the sensor for example - there are batch options for recording and correcting them based on an LCC file.

    Just mentioned so that people do not forget ...

    The spots I am fixing aren't so much on the sensor as much as film photos that have spots in all different areas. I wish there was an easy way to automate that!
