    Hi Alan,
    Hopefully my set up looks similar to yours. I've circled the healing brush [top right], and placed a rectangle around the "Visualise Spots" option at the bottom of the image, around centre stage. I hope this helps:

    I found that isolating a color channel and changing brightness/contrast etc you can make the dots pop out. Do your dust deleting, then turn on all color channels and make a final pass. Be sure to use an adjustment layer for whacky brightness and contrast adjustment to make the dust stand out so you can delete it when done. I also use a blank layer just above my base image layer and do all of my healing, spot healing and cloning on this layer. Only the patch tool will not work, but unless I am doing something drastic, like removing a park bench or annoying sign, I don't use the patch tool.
