What should I do if i want dust and scratches on my pictures using a DSLR ?

Take a picture of dust and scratches against a white background.

Combine that image with whatever picture you want to see dust and scratches on. You could do this easily in Photoshop or other image editor.

It is extremely difficult to do it properly in the camera.

The Nix collection has a collection of such affects in the Analogue FX part.

The whole collection was free around a year ago, but I think you now have to pay it again.
