Is there a chance to have these links fixed? I've PM'd some admins, but that hasn't worked.

[-Section-]

I did edit/update them a long time ago. Unfortunately, all the posts that are 2 years or older have been archived. For right now, that means some of these won't be accessible. I'm not going to get rid of the links, in case something can be done about it in the future.

Aw, to bad the masking one doesn't seem to work for me, as my sig is filled with little spots I just can't seem to get rid of.

maybe this will help

@endurex
are the spots from using a cloning brush or erasure, or are they like jpeg artifacts?

Open up the image, open the Channels layer and look at each channel. Sometimes, the offending spots are all in one channel. In any event, have you ever used LAB mode?

Probally, too late for this...:
