@lordcimek When you have the stamp tool selected, there's a drop down option on the right side Options Bar (which is at the top of the screen - if you don't see it, you can open it up in Windows>Option Bar). Right now the drop down probably says "This Layer Only" Change that to "All Layers." I'm sure I have some video on this...but am too lazy to look up where.
Would another technique, for say color photos or scanned slides of color photos, be to color match the specks if there are just a few? Would that work?
@PoetDonald If you select the scratches perfectly, (possibly with select>Color Range, adjust) and then adjust the colors so they're perfectly matching across every channel - you can get a quickie fix sometimes, depending on if the image has the color depth to support it...In a rare case that is a possible way to go - it depends on the image.
@fudgepackor You're absolutely right - I'm avoiding masks at this stage just to keep things as simple as possible for beginners - I'm adding masks in in a future tutorial once these basics are understood.
What i don't understand is how you use clone stamp on a blank layer.

very helpful.
the only thing I would add is that a layer mask gives you more freedom to experiment than duplicating a layer and erasing.
