I just recieved my Art Department Pro upgrade. They sell a $200 module
for direct control of the Polaroid Pallette. The Liquid Light software does
not suport 24 bit color according the company rep I talked to on the phone
last week. I called them because of the ad in the latest AW p. 93. I was told
that if they sold enough product they would add 24 bit IFF capability. 
Eric, if you get your hands on ADPro and the PP module, let us know how well
it works.
