This is a very cool image Shihab,nicely done.:)

See puzzle # 3935.

after line logic:
r21c24 and r22c24 cant both be black so at least one (or both) of r21c26 and r22c27 must be black (this lets you make r30c26 black)
line logic
internal edge logic on the 5 clue in r25 to "dot" c12-16 as where the 5 clue cant go (it gets completely placed in c17-21) and then be sure to undot c12-15 as the 3 clue could go anywhere in there
no matter whether the 4 clue in c23 goes up into r16 or down into r20, r20c18 is black
no matter whether the 2 clue in c8 goes up into r23 or down into r25, r23c9 is black

stuck for now but will revisit this soon

I think he is off by one pixel. Defining one in column 27 will solve it out, I believe.

I couldn't solve this without a ton of guessing.

i'm stuck too. i don't think an extra pixel in C27 will do it since my C27 is completely solved.

Continuing from where bugaboo was...

Looking at row 7, if the 3 4 clues are as low as they can go then R12C7 has to be the 1 clue. This would also make R15C7-R17C7 black as the 3 clue would have to go here. Looking at how column 6 is affected, we can see that it would be impossible to complete the 5 clue as R11C6 and R15C6 would be dots. This lets us conclude that the 3 clue cannot go in the lowest position. The only other place it can be is R10C7-R12C7.

And I'm stuck. I'm marking this one as guessing for now.

Found to require some guessing by gator.
