Re: small versions blurred?

Mine is blurred, but after reading Eriks description I think I know
why.
I start with 8000x4000 and use the <# scale ratio> in PanoCube Pro
set to 2 for fullscreen and 4 for the small one.
I will back home only in the evening of 2 July, so I don't know if I
will have the time to correct it.
Thanks Erik
