nice presentation, Janet

very nice.

fun solve without guessing
after line logic runs out i did edge logic on the 5 clue in r4 (followed by line logic to get a few black pixels and a column of dots in c14)
then i did two-way logic on c11 (at r17) three straight times
first you get dots in r16c5-8 and r16c15
second (extending it one move further) you gets dots in r15c5-7, r15c11-12, and r15c16-17
third (extending it one move further) you get an error at r14c13
thus the first 2 clue in r17 goes to the left (into c10) and it solves out from there

i am sure there is a better way somehow but i didnt care to search again

I knew that I could have done it in color for an easier puzzle but I do love the tougher B&W puzzles people make as they are a nice challenge.

Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by gator.
