How do i depth to scratch marks on a texture?

i think its normals but information on the subject tells me its just for taking high poly detail and baking it into a texture to give the appearance of detail.

    You can either use displacement, normals or just painting them in the diffuse/specular.

    with normals or displacement you can have light reflecting off the scratch to make it look a bit deeper, but for small surface scratches just painting them in the diffuse/spec should be sufficient
