Hans, you was managed to run PanoCube on Mac? Virtual PC?

Me too. PanoCube (PanoTools) use standard JPEG compression scale. 1% is 1%, 45% is 45% ... 100% is 100%.
CubicConverter (and perhaps all other "four speed" tools) use own, very strange scale for compression. Analyzing Hans's 75 and 46 samples I found 75% from CubicConverter is 92% for JPEG standard, 46% from CubicConverter is 75% for JPEG standard. If you'll make more samples with different compression it will be possible to correlate CubicConverter to JPEG standard compression rates so you will never more be confused with your tool ;-)
