[HDRI] RE: crop and de-warp

[L.Yimm]

Martin,

Unfortunately, the plug-in I have is a commercially unavailable beta. It was written to test the viability of using the Nikon FC-E8 and FC-E9  spherical lenses for spherical HDR capture.   I obtained it as part of the research I was doing as the Team Leader of the Pixel Corp's 2003 HDR Team.

I do my cropping and dewarping in Photoshop (still using V7)...I keep everything in registration by stacking my exposures for each position on top of each other, each on it's own layer.   Then I crop to a square that just hugs the spherical image, de-warp each layer, and save out to a TIF.   This gives me the perfectly registered and identically cropped images necessary to use Stitcher.
