RE: [Leica] photoshop upgrade?

[Chandos Michael Brown <cmbrow@wm.edu>]

I grabbed it a couple of days ago following a link to Adobe in the 
filmscanner list.  It installed without problem, but as I said before, I 
haven't had time to mess around with it.

For what it's worth, here's the contents of the readme file:

The most significant fixes in the 6.0.1 release include:
- - The painting tool brush picker has new usability improvements including:
      - Enter brings up and dismisses the preset picker at the current 
mouse location
      - Double-clicking a brush in the picker selects the brush and 
dismisses the picker
      - The current brush is always highlighted in the preset picker
      - The current brush indicator always displays the brush size
      - The First Brush and Last Brush keyboard shortcuts (> and <) work 
regardless of
          whether the current brush exactly matches a preset brush
- - Image clipping paths in EPS and TIFF files saved from Photoshop 6.0.1 
have been modified so that software, such as QuarkXPress, is able to read them.
- - ImageReady is able to save and preview animations under constrained 
memory conditions.
- - There is no slow-down of performance when files in the Open Recent list 
are unavailable.
- - Batch file naming works correctly.
- - Export Paths to Illustrator retains path scaling.
- - Using certain tools, such as the Move, Marquee, or Lasso tool, after 
using the Open, Save and Print commands no longer generates a Program Error 
dialog.
- - Selecting a single color in Color Range now works correctly.
- - Online help is accessible for more web browser configurations.
- - New Japanese character map (CMap) files are included to resolve conflicts 
with ImageStyler 1.0 and PageMaker 6.5.2 Plus.
- - Memory usage behavior is better on all Windows OSes; the network should 
no longer become unavailable when Photoshop is running.
- - Showing and hiding edges for a selection no longer requires pressing 
Ctrl-H twice.
