Which FITS plug-in for Photoshop is preferred - FITS Liberator from ESA/NASA, or FITSPlug from Astroshed?

Hi Barry,
Well, I just bought CS5 64 bit for Win7 64 bit and for that FitsPlug is the better choice, it allows you to import 32 bit files into CS5. The 2.3 Liberator does not work with the CS5 64 bit and it only does 16 bit import. The Ver 3 Liberator is a stand alone and you save the files as Tiff and then import them into CS. But I am fairly certain that TIFF is only 16 bit.

With 32 bit Windows and say CS2, then the Liberator is quite good, I like it a lot and it is free.
