Hi!
I´m using the very useful "Panini" projection and it´s settings - great tool, btw. Having done some settings the app doesn´t accept my "enter" command.
No matter whether i press the "return/enter" key or i click onto the green "ok"-mark - nothing happens.
I´m trying to render the pano now without having "okayed" the process . . . we´ll see what happens.
(MacOS 10.6.8 on a MacPro 2,3GHz, 8 cores, vers. 2.1)

The enter key doesn't work, sure. Now, just an explaination how it works :
As some others tools in our software, panini projection does need validation but it won't change anything. Why ?
This is how it works :
- enter the mode
- change the value of a slider -> a lot of changes here can happen because it is real time, perhaps 100 values went through real-time system to display it accurately and in RT in the editor
- validate => it pushs the current values in the history.
The validation does only pushes current values in the history. Everything has already been applied. We did that here because if we pushes values at each real changes, we would have 100 levels filled in history in no time ( and a lot of memory used BTW ).
This is current design. I'm not really satisfied yet either and would like to remove this validation button, but we need another history system to push the last value on the history stack.

Hi Alexandre!
I understand. Basically no problem: I rendered the pano and saw it took the settings in Panini very well - besides, a great tool!! 
Panini helps to make "nearly flat" images from very wide angles: plane projection works fine up to around 120° - beyond that the distortions are too extreme and compensating them in Photoshop produces very visible artefacts on the outer regioens of the image.
Using the variable settings for Panini carefully results in about 160° with an acceptably mild spherical distortion.
best, Klaus
