You sick bast-s! I'm talking about gear! 
For adding dust and stuff to a picture, I use the opacity slider on the top of the window when paintbrush is selected. The smaller the opacity number, the less strong the color stroke will be on the first swipe. Use the dropper to select a shade of dirt in the original picture, then experiment with the opacity slider once you've selected the paintbrush you want to use.
The best way is to practice a few times (you can always click "undo") until you see the shade or pressure you want to use for dust. You can go over the same section many times to get that cloudy, dusty look to it. That's really all there is to it. Practice a few times with a picture (save it with a different name first so you don't destroy the original) and just experiment with the opacity slider. It's a great way to add touches to something without painting over the original image entirely.

Just playing with the features and messing up pictures on purpose to see what happens.
