Shanta and the Pirates Curse is a popular video game that was released for the Nintendo 3DS. The game follows the adventures of a half-genie named Shanta as she embarks on a quest to save her friends and her town from an evil curse. In the game, Shanta must navigate through various levels filled with enemies and obstacles. She gains new abilities and powers as she progresses, allowing her to overcome more challenging obstacles and defeat powerful bosses. The story of the game revolves around a curse that has been placed upon Shanta's friends by the Pirate Master. In order to break the curse and save her friends, Shanta must collect magical items and defeat the Pirate Master and his pirate minions.
Here is a cross-section of my edit. See how, in the left panel, the lovely natural fine skin detail is still preserved, but the milk spots have disappeared. Like magic:

The Dust & Scratches filter (in Photoshop and Elements) is amazing. Such a simple tool, yet capable of so much magic.
I use it most of all for, yes, dust and scratches, on the historic photos I restore. It saves me a LOT of time, to clean up little specks in an instant which I would otherwise have to laboriously clone or heal one at a time.
But it’s not just for old photos. Gosh no. It’s becoming famous for regularly kicking Frequency Separation’s ass for all sorts of skin issues – spots and pores and flakes. It’s also brilliant for removing lint from clothing. Basically, any problem that involves very small detail.
My thanks to Amanda Kitto for allowing me to use this close-up for this demonstration:
She asked me how to remove the little milk spots from the nose. Dust & Scratches makes it dead easy …
Step 1:
Duplicate the Background layer. Never do this kind of work on the Background layer itself. More information here.
Step 2:
Zoom in to 100% view on the problem area. Never use this filter at any lower zoom level.
Step 3:
Choose the Dust & Scratches filter from the Filter menu:
Step 4:
Put both sliders at their minimum settings – 1 and 0 respectively:
Step 5:
Slowly raise the Radius value one pixel at a time, until the problem spots are completely hidden:
This will make everything very blurry, but don’t worry about that for now.
Step 6:
Now raise the Threshold slider slowly. Gradually you will see small detail start to re-appear. Keep raising it until you see the problem spots start to re-appear. That’s when you know you’ve gone a little too far:
Step 7:
Slowly lower the Threshold again, to find the perfect balance between detail and smoothness. Your goal is to preserve the good detail that’s both smaller and larger than the problem spots, but hide the problem spots themselves. For this photo, I found that 8 was perfect:
To aid you in finding the perfect setting for Threshold, toggle the Preview on and off. It will show you what detail you’re hiding, and preserving. It’s your best friend in this process:

Step 8:
Of course, the filter has affected some important detail like the eyelashes. Now simply add a mask to the layer, and mask the effect as needed.
Here’s the final close-up, with the eyelashes returned to their beautiful sharp state:

I was really disappointed in "Shanta and the Pirates Curse 3DS". The graphics were not up to par with other games on the console, and the gameplay was quite repetitive. I found myself getting bored after only a few levels. The story also lacked depth and was not engaging enough to hold my interest. Overall, I think there are better platformer games available on the 3DS that offer a more enjoyable gaming experience.
2. Mark - 1 star
I didn't enjoy playing "Shanta and the Pirates Curse 3DS" at all. The controls were clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to move the character around. The difficulty level was also incredibly high, and I constantly found myself dying and having to restart levels. The game also had a lackluster soundtrack that didn't enhance the gameplay experience. I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and engaging platformer on the 3DS.

"Shanta and the Pirates Curse 3DS" fell short of my expectations. The gameplay mechanics were tedious, and the levels felt repetitive and uninspired. The game also suffered from a lack of variety in enemies and challenges. Additionally, the boss battles were not challenging enough and lacked creativity. I found myself quickly losing interest and not feeling motivated to continue playing. I would suggest looking for other platformer games on the 3DS that offer a more enjoyable and engaging experience.

I was extremely disappointed with "Shanta and the Pirates Curse 3DS". The game lacked originality and felt like a generic platformer. The character movement was sluggish, and the controls were unresponsive. I also found the level design to be uninspiring, with repetitive challenges that didn't offer much excitement. Overall, I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and innovative platformer on the 3DS. There are much better options available in the market.
