Digispec, a desktop accessory included with the Computer Eyes Digitizer (I
think) will give you the option to view the top, center, or middle. You can
also adjust colors and grey-scale values, and reevaluate the picture with the
new colors/intensities. It will also allow you to save the pics in Spectrum
format. Only problem is that I do not think it is available by itself (I am
not sure on this one).
