Is medium stack mode present in standard CS4?

I presently have Photoshop CS3 extended. The only feature in PS3 Extended that I use that is not in standard CS3 is using "median stack mode" (File-Scripts-Statistics-Median)to remove moving objects in multiple exposures. I want to upgrade to CS4 standard (not Full, or Extended). If I do this, will I lose the use of median stack mode?

I am also interested in the answer to this question.

If this is not a listed upgrade option at Adobe.com, call Adobe customer service for availability and pricing.

No File->Scripts->Statistics in my copy of CS4 Standard ... but that may be because it's an optional install. CS4 Standard happily coexists with CS3 Extended so you could keep the old version around for the odd occasion you need it.

I thought Statistics were only in the Extended version?

from Photoshop CS4 Help.

Use a script to create an image stack (Photoshop Extended)

Comments You can use the Statistics script to automate creating and rendering an image stack.

Choose File > Scripts > Statistics. Choose a stack mode from the Choose Stack Mode menu.
Apply the stack mode to currently open files, or browse to select a folder or individual files.
Files you select are listed in the dialog box.
Select whether to automatically align images (equivalent to choosing Edit
Auto-Align Layers) and click OK.
Photoshop combines the multiple images into a single multilayered image, converts the layers into a Smart Object, and applies the selected stack mode.
