In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at ads in Instagram, removing dust spots in Lightroom, drones and vegetables.

- Julieanne Kost covers Removing Dust Spots and Imperfections in Lightroom, highlighting the Visualize Spots tool and the difference between Cloning and Healing:

Funniest comment: "You have sources in counter-intelligence?"
