    When coloring comics we always scan inked art at 600dpi bitmap 50% threshhold. Not sure it it applies to your project but it works for Marvel & DC so it may help you too.

    Clone + action.

    I'm not sure if you could do that with Actions or even Scripts. If the spots are in the same place in each image you could make a new file that covers the spots and use an action to apply the patch to each image. Probably a better way to automate this. Not sure.
