It seems there must be otherwise the technician could not remove things that
easily. A person at one of the local print shops remarked that they have a
very advanced and comprehensive version of Photoshop at his place which is
far more capable that CS2. Maybe that is what they were using. He did
mention that their version of Photoshop cost $100,000. It ought to be much
more comprehensive that CS2 at that price.
