[HDRI] Photosphere 1.6 available

[Gregory J. Ward]

Hi Mark,

Nifty.  I think this is one of the first times I've gotten to  
download a JPEG-HDR image from someone else!  The stitcher works much  
better in natural scenes than cities and the like, which tend to get  
the jitters.  I might come up with some way to calm down the edge  
matching at some point, but I haven't figured out how just yet.
