Default Dust spots in LR4..

G'day all..
Have a question for seasoned Lightroom users.
As a long time photoshop user I've switched a lot of processing to Lightroom recently in an effort to speed workflow and get more images done.
My only stumbling block is finding an easy way to find dust spots.
In PS the equalize function is the bomb at clearly pointing them out yet LR doesn't have anything I can find that has them stand out anywhere near as clearly.
The only thing I can think of is pushing the blacks and shadow sliders all to -100...
Anyone have any tips on dust spotting in Lightroom?
Thanks
Dazz

Dust spot spotting ... That's definitely something I leave for Photoshop.

Hold down the alt key and gently move the Masking slider to the right. That should make most of the spots visible, and I say 'most' because the equalize function in PS is still better.
