Yup, I have that too. Don't like it very much. I just upgraded to
version 8 to see if it's any better but haven't tried it yet.

Sorry, I didn't mean to stir up the PS gurus or imply in any way that PW
Pro is more sophisticated than PS... just easier to use, a lot cheaper
and has never failed to do what I need it to do. My needs are pretty
simple; do a little "natural retouching" on portraits, a slight bit of
unsharp mask and then off to the professional printer for the final
sharpening and color tweaking. Suits me fine. btw, PW Pro 3.5 has what
is supposed to be a new and improved usm called "advance sharpen" but I
haven't tried that yet either.

I continue to study and use PS because I have to when working in the
other guy's office. But I don't have to like it.
