For all those wondering what's the point in fixing these: if you're doing commercial work, print, or high-quality publishing, these anomalies will be glaringly visible in your final result, and the more you stylize your photos, the more likely it is that they will be pronounced. Also, you don't want to be in a position where you post or print a photo just to notice a speck of dust destroy your entire workflow.

I've been using this technique for many years now and it's a must use feature. In my case we want nice crisp white backgrounds to our images so after applying the solar curve we use the dodge tool set to highlights @100%. The reason we use the dodge tool instead of the erase tool is because the erase tool is too strong most of the time, and the dodge tool is just right. Of course there is the occasional need to use the erase, but it's the dodge that does most of the work.

I also liked how you showed how a similar Curves layer configuration is used with converting images to Gold.

If there was ever a Photoshop shonen anime, 'Solar Curve' would make for a great name of a popular attack.
