I got stuck around this point too. Took me ages to see the necessary elimination (and again just now on your image!).
On the bottom row, counting left to right, only one of the 4th and 5th numbers can be even. From that you can deduce three bottom row numbers that must be odd.
(I'm trying not to give too many clues!)

In the nine grids from bottom right, 5, 9, and 3 of the eighth row can only be in 3 of them.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
I'm Stuck

I looked for both of these tricks, but didn't see them.
