Not sure what the problem is there - it downloaded, unstuffed to the VISE
file and installed fine on my machine.  Only problem I encountered was when
it asked me to select the plug-ins folder for the PS7plug-in, it did not
show the Photoshop folder.  I had to install it elsewhere and copy it across
the PS 7.

It work pretty well on black and white and colour images, although it does
tend to diminish some highlights with the dust and scratch removal.  I tried
using a duplicate layer, applying it to that layer, and then using the
eraser tool to reconstitute from the layer below highlights that were lost.
That worked much better.  I didn't notice any appreciable amount of
softening of the image which was good.

Need to play with it some more but for a quick fix  for fine dust and
scratches it looks OK.  Bigger marks will still need the healing brush
treatment.
