There are a lot of options for remapping images now each with ever increasing scope. I primarily use a free-ware application called Hugin to implement all my distortion transformations now, it's extremely accurate and very flexible (much more so than PS and you know how well that works). Just to cite an example when the link for the new fisheye zoom demo pics was posted a week or so ago I transformed some of the images to see how well they might work for me, see the following links (btw these are not my images so apologize to the author). The image bellow was transformed in a single transformation which took only a matter of seconds after some critical control points were selected. Both images have been reduced in size by half and the original image was also converted from Adobe RGB to sRGB color space: Original http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/6Fisheye10mm_Hbf2_50pc.jpg (~400kB) Transformed http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/test_50pc.jpg (~370kB) Granted it's an extreme example but it's a good one none the less, I'm betting that I would have been able to do a much better job had I been able to work directly with the RAW file too :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
