Thanks for your input. I can't seem to get Photoshop to open PictureViewer
images though. I need to make color corrections, etc. in Photoshop with
any images. I could open Simpletext images right up in Photoshop, but
Simpletext is not available in X. I can use it through Classic, but once
OS 9 goes away, I need to know what to do with PictureViewer.

Again, you can't manipulate images in a browser. You can see them,
but not do anything else. Now I used to just make a screen shot and
then open the resulting Simpletext file in Photoshop.

I might just get this. I've had it, an old version, and it was good.
