Ah , OK . Never imagined such a thing being possible , and in fact I'm still a little foggy on this whole 'evaluating' concept . Seems like it is something advanced that I should be trying to wrap my tired old brain around . I use channels for tweaking shadows and contrast etc , like in the very old tutorial on the info site by Tim Borgmann http://realsoft.info/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=29 but have never even dreamed of using it as you just have . How did you learn of such a thing ? Are there any examples anywhere that you could point to . I know the RS channel concept is incredible ( & old hat to most here , probably) . I find this utterly fascinating . This seems absolutely perfect for panoramic VR creation , and maybe many other things too .
