The D&S trick recommended by David works even better than Polaroids D&S
software.  PSCC's D&S filter combined with the history brush in darken mode
is perfect for the white spots on B&W negatives.

It takes longer than Polaroid's filter, but the results are much better.

Hope this helps somebody else!

Thanks, David!
