RE: Photoshop USM and CMYK conversion

[David Hibbeln <dhibbeln@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Zonghou Xiong;

If my question are simplistic, please forgive.

I am an old photographer getting back into things after 25 years away.
For a number of years I did dye transfer and custom black and white printing
for the advertising industry in Chicago.

Did things like 4 foot x 8 foot black white murals, 20 inch x 24 dye
transfers.
Worked with Widelux, glass plates, collotypes, 4 color sheet & offset, 8x10,
11x14 negs. When I left the field the digital drum scanners where just
coming in.
I saw the future and left!

I studies with a photographer called ART SINSABAUGH at the University of
Illinois. 
He was doing wide landscapes of the flat plains of the great plains of the
USA midwest.
Images were shot on roll film 9" and contact printed. Great stuff.

I found an used Widelux a while ago, and said hey, I got more high tech
stuff then most. So I am learning fast.

What pray tell, is the URL for "The Panorama Factory"?

When you speak of planning, what do you refer to? Position of camera sights?
and overlaps areas?
