Re: [Digital BW] Adobe Channel Mixer versus Picture Window 3.1

2002-08-02 by david_bookbinder@sprynet.com

I use Picture Window Pro together with Elements all the time. 
I think they are quite complementary. I don't right off recall 
which features of Picture Window Pro are missing from Picture 
Window, but PWP does have the equivalent of the channel mixer, 
as well as several other features particularly useful for black 
and white work. And, it performs all operations on either eight 
or 16-bit files. You should probably download both trial versions 
and see which one best suits your needs.

I'm having a ball learning to use Photoshop Elements.
But, one feature that Adobe left out of the "Elements"
Version of Photoshop is the Channel Mixer.  I can
already see that this is a very powerful tool for digital
b&w work.  I want it!  Reality is I'm retired on a fixed
income.  The full version of Photoshop is a lot of money
for a lot of features I'll never use ~ or am I being a 
"penny wise and a pound foolish?"

Anyway, Picture Window, by Digital Light & Color,
claims some pretty sophisticated filtering capabilities.
Does Picture Window 3.1 allow one to manipulate b&w
RGB images like Photoshop's channel mixer?

Would Picture Window compliment Photoshop Elements
or be redundant?  At $49.95 it looks like heck of a buy.

Thanks,
