Spot healing brush in PSCS2 is fantastic, beats cloning, or even the
healing brush in PS7 or PSCS. ohterwise:
When scanning: Use a scanning program with Digital Ice, also clean the
film, The Polaroid anti dust works in a pinch, but softens alot to be
realy effective.
If you have black spots on your digital camera, clean the sensor.
If you are getting white or colored dust on your digicam you may have
problems.

Depends on your budget.

Use masks for the best result.

Bart's right, polaroid's dust and scratch remover is the best free solution
to this problem. He says use masks, I say use the PS undo brush to regain
lost highlights (in the eyes, primarily).

... only being a little sarcastic and somewhat old school, I would say
the best program for removving dust spot from pictures would be a
program of carefully cleaning your camera and lenses before shooting
inportant pictures when dust spots might make a difference. The
program would consist of a blower bulb, some lens cloths, maybe a bit
of lens cleaner and some elbow grease. If you really want to piss
people off, you throw in a can of compressed air :-)))

BTW, if that is all you are doing with photo software, Photoshop
Elements, probably Gimp, or any number of other inexpensive programs
will suit your needs. It ain't rocket science.
