RE: Genuine Fractals(orig scanning info)

Sid,
It is good to see you have finally gotten on this list; now people can get
responses right from the horses mouth so to speak.  You might want to
explain to everyone how GF works which make it different from other similar
programs as well as why GF cannot save embedded layers without flattening
the file. :-)

In regard to profiles in GF2 I am passing along a reply from Alta Mira tech
support.

Brent

"Genuine Fractals saves any attached ICC profile information along with the
image data in the encoded STN file.  When the file is opened again in
PhotoShop, this information is passed back to PhotoShop as part of the image
data.  Photoshop versions 5.02 and 5.5 will recognize and use the ICC
information returned by our program.

If you have any other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to
