[ANN] This Week in LiveCode 82

[Roger Eller]

I just looked in the dictionary of 6.7.5 (my daily driver), and only
srcCopy concerns me, as it is the default for any image placed as a
control.  I also found an image that I had placed with addMax applied.
This saved me the trouble of taking it into Photoshop of Gimp to create the
same effect.  I'll roll with the changes.
