[HDRI] Installing Radiance on Mac G5 Leopard?

[Gregory J. Ward]

Hi Kenneth,

Two words, the second being a URL:

Photosphere at http://www.anyhere.com/

This application does pretty much exactly what you're asking.  For  
command-line image processing, Radiance is useful as well.  You can  
download the executables for Leopard from:

Cheers,
-Greg
