Thanks for the comment. The white specks are probably dust on the scanner. (not to be confused with dust in the wind). LOL. Spotone is a dye used to cover up spots on a photo. Kind of like touching up the white spots in this photo if they were part of the picture. They made it for color pictures also. There are re-touching pens on the market but I have had absolutly no luck with them. With Spotone one uses a brush and "dabs" on an ink like substance. That's about the best description I can give of it. The brush is very fine. I use a 10 "0" and a 15 "0" only about 2 hairs.
