Hi Matthew,

I've played a little bit with Panellum and I've two questions :
- it seems to me that you suppose that the panoramas are
   always 360ï¿½x180ï¿½. When I load a panorama which is 360ï¿½
   but narrower that 180ï¿½ the effect is strange. Is there a method
   to indicate that the panorama is narrower ?
- peformance : I've tried to load a 50 Mpix panorama and after
   some time I gave up. Have you tested it on panoramas of that
   size ?

Thanks, Michal
