Re: Installing "PanoTools" Plugins?

[Michael Plack <metphoto@pacbell.net>]

Rafe,

There's a dll file you have to install in the Photoshop directory in order to 
get PanoTools to work.  Have you found this and done so?

When you get it up and running and master its intricacies, please let me 
know so I can pick your brain about simplified ways of understanding its 
complicated functions.

I've heard from many sources this program produces quality panos due to its 
ability to map anchor points to force connect multiple images in ways the 
automated pano programs miss.  If I had a slightly bigger brain and more 
time I'd venture in with some confidence the learning time investment 
would pay off.

good luck.
