Re: filmscanners: PS 6.0 v. PS 5.0 LE v. Jasc Paintshop Pro 7.02

I use PSP7.02 routinely, but still have occasional recourse
to the following features in PS5LE....

1. PS5LE's 'Variations' screen, where you can compare
different twiddles alongside each other, with adjustable
degrees of aggressiveness.

2. The PS5LE pick tool for selecting white point and black
point from specific image locations. If this is there
somewhere in PSP, please could someone tell me where to find
it?

3. The superior PS5LE dithering of full screen images, which
gives a much more pleasing look, better representative of
what a print will look like.

Regards,

Alan T
