P: Spot removal on 32bit image results in a noisy area

Let me know when you have done the download.

Hi Rodrigo, we are looking into this. Would you please provide us your test image with the side car file (xmp file) so we can be sure to test your exact settings in image?

Hey Adobe, I'm sure that it is a software bug... 10 days and no response... This issue is very annoying...
