Scripting to repeat Healing Brush operation

Hei All,
I have a problem. There was some dust on my lens when I took some hundred photos on an expedition to the East Coast of Spitsbergen last week and now I wish to remove it. It is extremely easy to do so with the healing brush in Photoshop CS but that would mean doing the work for each invdividual photo. I figured that, since the dust is always int he same space, it should be possible to make a script to do this work for me. However, I don't have much experience with this (just with Java itself, not JavaScript) and I wonder whether it is possible to tell the script where the dust occurs. I'm sure many people have the same problem so please let me know your solutions. I really appreciate it.

IF you find an answer, please share it. I may be mistaken, but one shortcoming of the CS Action is that it does not record the healing brush application. It knows that a spot has been sampled, but stops right there. Pretty short-sighted.

You can create an action using the Patch tool. This works like the Healing Brush.

Wow! That works beautifully as an action. Thanks, Larry!

So OP - there you go! Providing the blemishes are in the same place in every picture, record the action and batch it, sit back and it will do those hundreds of fixes at once.
