I have a problem with the kitchen probe: no mather what projection I 
use, or what convertion I do, there is always an ugly glitch that cause 
extreme stretching along the seam.
I convert from the spherical image to the longitude-latitude format in 
HDRShop and apply to a sphere or sky_sphere using a spherical mapping.
Same thing if I use the cross format as a source.

Also, it's a single view point probe (you see the camera) while beter 
ones use a 2 view point setting.
