Hello Gunther,
I had not been using my camera for more then a year and forgot that I had dust or whatever on my sensor that only showed up on small apertures let's say around f13 and smaller. (cleaned it since then) And since I took the camera out again and started shooting HDR pictures most of my scenes were done with f5.6 or there about. So I had not noticed anything wrong on my images. But a few days ago, I captured a Time Lapse scene that I want to use in one of my projects and I almost fainted....16245 files that will result in 5415 Merged HDR images. They all have spots in them (see file attached) and I thought initially oh well, merge them and once you have the final HDR images fix it with LR4, but the problem is that as time advances in the scenes the cloned spots change colors because of the tone changes in time so the final result is the more we advance the more the spots tend to come back even if they are not as strong.
I was wondering if there was some type of workflow you could suggest that would help me use LRTimelapse to kind of assist LR4 in making the transition....sort of applying your Holy Grail method or something similar. Oh and one detail, the images are original shots bracketed were jpg and so are the final HDR merged ones, in case this makes a difference.
