    <pre> Guenter - Actually to recap history I believe LivePicture developed Flashpix and it was acquired by MGI. Adobe's Photoshop 5.0 however does have the photoshop plugin for the Mac, at least according to their Knowlegebase. htt
    ://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/14fe2.htm
    "Photoshop 5.0's installer does not install the FlashPix plug-in when you perform an Easy Install. " You have to go back to the CD and install it.

    Also you might want to look at vfzoom http://www.vfzoom,com. They just did a presentation at the VRA conference and its an interesting product. The imaging is vector based and can increase resolution on low res images. They currently offer a free trial. And isn't Berkeley (university) developing something with San Francisco Fine Arts museum - see Thinker.or
    .
