Interesting stuff, I haven't delved into any about HDRI yet. Thanks for
sharing that about the Ornament Photoshop filter; used a image done with the
'spherical' projection type camera just to see if my PS 4.0 LE (came with
digital camera) would work okay, which it does seem to.

Oh, and maybe that's all you needed to know before. That there is a
spherical camera in POV-Ray. I'm just unsure about how to set this kind of
thing up correctly, if it can be at all. From the looks of it I'd say you
need to use the 'fisheye', but if trying to convert a photo in POV then it
might not be completely possible. I just don't know.
