Re: .WMF files

I too lament that Photoshop doesn't recognize .wmf and would dearly love to
find a plug-in that would allow direct importing.

In the meantime,  I've found that ACDSee 32
	http://www.acdsystems.com/
 is an easy to use "image conversion" program - 

simple conversion if image is on a writable device,
2 step - move and convert if coming from a CD

Also features
easy navigation, thumbnails, and other useful features.

I'm open to even better suggestions!
