That would be nifty! Then it goes "that poor magenta layer its just faded away why all that's about left is the cyan layer like a beauty shop picture in a window! why doing I just give the magenta and yellow layers a good shot in the arm!" Or nuggie! Then does so with complex fortified and enriched algorithms. It must recognize the baloney layer from the mustard layer from the cheese layer from the lettuce layer. And pickle but that's easy. Let along rye. Did I mention mayo? Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
