Panorama Tools 1.8b1 for Mac/Win/Linux

[Helmut Dersch <der@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Notes to version 1.8b1:
=======================

New features in 1.8b1 compared to 1.8b0

o A new very high quality interpolator (Lanczos windowed sinc) has been 
  added. The program can now also be used for high quality general image manipulations
  (enlargements, rotations, skewing etc). The existing standard interpolator 
  (Polynomial) has been reworked to closely resemble the bicubic interpolator 
  of Photoshop. A comparison with test images is available at my site:
  <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/interpolator/interpolator.html>
  
o A gamma/degamma  correction algorithm with settable gamma value is 
  included. This allows the user to internally linearize the images prior 
  to transformation, and later automatically gamma-correct them again. 

o The Gimp version is now compiled with the current gtk-version 1.2.3,
  and runs under the current stable Gimp release 1.0.4. Also, the Makefile
  has been changed to the standard Gimp format, and compiling on other
  platforms should be simple.
