Healing dust and scratch marks in scanned photos in post-processing


I borrowed a Coolscan V ED (LS-50 ED) scanner and scanned some old negatives as .NEF files. However, I didn't turn on all the Scan Image Enhancer / Digital ICE features, so a lot of them have quite a few dust and scratch marks.


I though I can just remove them in post-processing, which may have been a mistake as I didn't think it all through.


So what should I use now to fix those dust and scratch marks?


I have LightRoom but I suspect that won't be the best tool for these particular problems.


Any advice on which tool, preferably not terribly expensive, to use? Preferably one that can do some automatic processing in batch mode.
