Generally speaking they don't get worse. Some pixels may be weaker than others and show up at high ISO and/or long exposures. If you aren't seeing it with your camera and settings, then you probably won't in the future.
Seems like I remember somewhere a plug or action or something that could mask those out relatively automatically - once you indicated the location(s). Perhaps someone will have better recall than me. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, March 30, 2006, 12:17:00 PM, you wrote: AR> Unfortunately, shooting RAW is just not an option because of AR> how quickly I need to turn over jpegs.
