This process is readily accomplished with our software, IPLab
Spectrum/IPLab for Windows, and add-on Extension module, MultiProbe.
These are now available for both Macintosh and Windows (95 and NT4.0)
platforms.

With MultiProbe you can have up to 6 colored layers in addition to a
greyscale layer. IPLab also utilizes the the full data range of your
images, whether 8- or 16-bit.

Check out the demo software on our web site <www.iplab.com/sac>, and/or
contact me with any questions.
