Re: Fisheye Lenses & Panorama Tools

How can they stop you if you used version 1.0 of Photovista to stitch it. 
wink wink.
They hadn't yet sicked their lawyers on LivePicture before the release.
PV 1.0 had 8mm fisheye stitching option in it. (ofcourse I wouldn't doubt if
they would then try to make Live pIcture Recall all PV 1.0 or something
foolish like that)

keep your fingers crossed that Someone besides IPIX buys Live Picture.
Or that would be the end of the pano market.
