I find myself spotting my scans multiple times during a workflow. I start out spotting the scratches and dust on a duplicate background layer of a raw scan which typically looks pretty dark. I would use a combination of the Clone tool and History Brush. Then I run NeatImage to remove grain level noise. Then I make tonal and color corrections which typically results in many levels (with pixels), masks, and adjustment layers. As the image becomes brighter and more contrasty, I would notice scratches and dust missed in the initial spotting. At this point, what is the best way to spot so that I can make modifications to the existing layers and adjustment layers later on? On a single layer, or on all layers? A similar scenario would arise after sharpening, and I would be faced with similar questions. Thanks.
