Say, one error is pretty good for starters. And that was due to a frequent oversight (mine, of course).

The error message says that RemoveSpotsMC is looking for a function called "SCselect". That...

Ooops, You caught me red-handed in a typo. The correct numbers for Crop in the script are (14,0,0,-10), so it's 14 pixels off the left side instead of 10. It could have just 12, but there's 2 pixels...
