Hmm, well my recommendation was for the specific issue that Tina had and as
it happened she agreed and used the tool that I suggested. Smart lady ;-)

Example for you. I got a large thread fragment (from a curtain) on my M8
sensor, changing lenses while standing on the window sill to shoot out of a
hotel window. I shot around fifty frames before I picked it up on
downloading the images later. A big dark mark on every sky I had shot.

Here is the entire correction in LR Develop module with all affected images
selected.
> Spot Removal Button >click on spot> Synchronise Button.
That's it for 50 images (which of course I can still adjust individually
however wanted). In Tina's case she used a couple of sliders to the
Adjustment Brush tool.

Now show me the three click method to fix this issue on 50 TIFFs that you
have saved !!!!

Cheers
Geoff
