I have Spherical Mapping corrector, but it uses a much different formulae.  It onoly really distorts the top and bottom of an image.  If you look at the thread, I linked to in my first post, you'll see that the distortions go stright through the hieght of the map?

I've got to HDR SHop V1., and see that the Latitude/Longitude image, at  the HDR Shop's Panoramica Conversion Tutorial page,  is about what I'm aiming at.  I do'nt understand how to replicate that with the program?

Here are the steps I tried:

1.)  I chose an image to use, and clicked File > Open, to load it into HDR SHop V.1.(Leaving the Camera ResponseCurve alone.)  It does'nt quite look like the whole Panorama of the image loaded, does it?

2.)  I then navigated to the Panoramic Transformation dialog, illustrated in the tutorial.

3.)  But now I'm stuck on what Source and Destination Formats to use?
