Thanks Rich.  I did find the solution.  It was starring me in the face the whole
time.  I'm usually under a crunch for time, so I need to find an editor, and I
think GIMP will do.
All I really do to these images is barely tweak exposure, gradient white to
transparent and save to PSD files for the layout person.  I sharpen them with a
PS batch file, then throw them on the network for her.
