[Leica] Mapping - CS2 filters

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

Larry:

You're right... Photoshop CS2 already has a filter which enables me to 
quickly remove the vignetting produced by the edge light fall off of my 
wide angle 210mm lens on the 11x14.

I wouldn't be able to use the lens otherwise because when I went 
looking, Size VI center filters, (about 135mm wide) are available only 
to the rich!

CS2 has a nifty chromatic aberration filter as well.

I upgraded from PSP 7 so, for all that I know, the feature may also be 
available in CS1.
