Hi Wei-Hao,

I like it, but the major drawback as far as I am concerned is that you 
can't manipulate the image with levels or curves when the wide histogram is 
open.

In 16 bit mode there is no way to display all of the 65,535 levels on the 
screen, I think it's just a matter of practicality. You can use this plug 
in to kind of zoom in. It's most helpful on the high end where there are 
pixels there, but the count is so low you can't see them most of the time.

I haven't upgraded to CS yet. I'm waiting for the first bug fix.
