Since 0.9.2 version, a new tool is available in the preprocessing tab: cosmetic correction. This tool search deviant pixels through master-dark and will correct them. You always should use this tool if you own master-dark. Please, pay attention to the CFA box. Check it if your monochrome pictures are CFA images. If you don't have master-dark (which should be avoided), you could use automatic cosmetic correction tool available through the "image processing" menu.
