Another blot succumbs to summing.

After line and color logic,
Edge logic on the 3 in r6 makes c5-6 white. Then line logic finishes the left side.

Now some summing:
The horizontal clues say that we need exactly eight more green pixels.
The vertical clues say we need six more (and three blots).

Therefore, two pixels must be in the blot clues. Or, stated differently, no blot clue can be extended more than two pixels.

That means that c16r4-6 and c17r4-5 can be marked white.

Then LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
