Re: [APML] Picture Window Pro vs. PhotoShop

["Mike Cook, AF9Y" <mwcook@concentric.net>]

You still can't.  The only thing I noticed in Photoshop 7 was the bandaid function
which is like a smart rubberstamp.  I believe that there was not a single additional
16bit function added.  I cannot understand why there is not more demand for
at least the 16bit masking function.
