Question
My camera is 6 months old and I noticed there is quite a few spots on the sensor (especially when taking HDR shots of bright scenes or the sky) The hand blower does not lift these particles off the sensor and I don't know if there is enough spots to have the sensor professionally cleaned at the service center.
There is a function on the camera that records "Dust Delete Data" which is (according to the manual) used with the Canon Digital Photo Professional software to delete these spots i presume. I don't have any of the Canon software installed as it is not needed for my workflow and don't really want to add an extra step if I don't have to.
So the question is; can the "Dust Delete Data" be used with Lightroom? (or Photoshop, although I would prefer LR since this is where most of my post-processing takes place)
Answer
Dust delete data is Canon proprietary, and no third party software that I'm aware of interprets it. I can say for certain that Lightroom/ACR, Aperture and Capture One are all blissfully ignorant of this data.
I'm sure everyone making RAW image processing software would love Canon to open up a bit more on these details but so far, it's still not public information as far as I know.
