What has happened to "extended focus" in Leica Software?

Hey,

a "long" time ago I used an Leica TCS NT confocal, and I remember that I was able to view
the 3D stacks with two differend methods in 2D: "Extended Focus" and "Projection",
respectively.

With our new Leica Confocal with the new LAS AF software, I have just one way to view the
stacks: "Maximum projection", which gives me results same as with the old "Projection". (If I
open old .tiff files and process them)...

The old "ExtFoc" worked for me quite well sometimes, the new "Maximum Projection" very
often needs deconvolution to get a clear, that is, crisp image...

Does anyone remember what the difference was between the two modes in the old software?
