I was thinking of going forward with upgrading multi-ad here we are 
currently using 6.5.8 on 7 graphics workstation, but if this is the case 
with color separations for soft blurr which would be used, we now use 
photoshop for such special effects. I will be waiting for this to be 
addressed in a future issue. I have postponed upgrading because of 
different issues with all the newer version I guess waiting a little 
longer won't hurt except I'm being asked to consider other programs like 
InDesign.
