Re: > Editing the zenith or nadir of a panosphere is a nightmare;

Both zenith and nadir are problematic to align properly. It's not all
that hard to get the zenith within hugin by manually placing zenith
shots without control points. The nadir, however,  is especially
difficult not only to align, but also to photograph since the tripod
and head are in the way. My work-around has been to produce an
equirectangular panorama that does not include the  nadir, resize the
canvas in photoshop to the 2:1 aspect ratio and then remap into cubic
faces. I then use photoshop to "fake" the nadir as part of the bottom
cubic face.  Then I convert  back to equirectangular. The conversions
can be a problem for some codes ( i.e. not using good memory
management as per VIPS) if the panorama is in the gigapixel range. It
would be good to have a part of the workflow in hugin devoted to
nadir. At the very least there should be a projection output for cubic
faces and from cubic faces to equirectangular.
