Can't get rid of those last fireflies.
Sometimes it helps to read the words written of a rival program...lol.
I read (somewhere ;o)) that the fireflies are much more frequent and larger if the rendered pixel approaches pure white. I'm not sure if it's a bug with Lux or what can be done about it. But it sounded logical to me ;o). I'll have to go back over what i'd read to get the exact explaination ;o). But it had something to do with pure white, that I'm sure of ;o).

Unless black is close to pure white, I may disagree. Actually, it could be that the pixel that caused one of my fireflies was near to pure white, though it should have been black. This is a known issue at Lux, and they are taking steps to make it better; though I don't know if they will completely get rid off all fireflies.
