Is it possible to convert a cubic strip or cube faces back to an
equirectangular projection? If not, could this option be added later
in future updates to PTGui 9 pro?

Wouldn't such a conversion necessarily degrade image quality? I mean
working to and from JPEG files? Wait a minute, though, I am assuming
that cube faces are always JPEGs, because they are the only type I
have ever seen, but if there are lossless cube faces there would be
no problem.

I only work with raw and TIF file formats until my image editing is
complete then create jpg cubes etc. So there should be no loss of
quality.

Yes, just load the 6 images, as rectlinear with 90°F0V,
then set the Image Parameters to have the relevant Yaw and Pitch
settings;
Yaw Pitch
Front 0 0
Right 90 0
back 180 0
left -90 0
Zenith 0 90
nadir 0 -90

You may need to tweak the FoV if your a couple of pixels out, oh and
yes you need
to disable Fast Transform, you can then save this as a template for
the future.
Its best to save as individual layers and then combine in your
editor,
that way there is no blending carried out.

Use Nona (supplied with Hugin) as the Panorama Tools stitcher to get a
flawlessly blended stitch. Neither PTGui's blender nor PTStitcherNG
will blend the tiles properly.
