[HDRI] Photosphere 1.6 available

[Kirk Thibault]

Hi folks - Here is another HDR panorama:

I am experimenting with the excellent tone mapping operators on the  
DVD included with Greg at al's HDRI book - really cool stuff.

The above image was mapped using the <tm_photographic> tone mapping  
on the DVD.  It did a nice job of keeping the color shifts under  
control so I could play with curves and saturation on the mapped  
image without getting too weird results.  If you would like to take a  
look at the full size image (5000 px wide) it is here:

It really is a testament to Photosphere's stitching ability.  Greg -  
what a great tool, I can't believe how abusive my images are to your  
app with seemingly little fuss and excellent results.  Awesome.  I  
will post another image (not panorama) with all of the tone mapping  
operators and their DEFAULT output (not necessarily optimal - I need  
to read the chapters on the book to get a handle on all of the  
parameters).

sweet stuff - thanks Greg.
