5. When exporting to QTVR format, The Panorama Factory now automatically converts the projection to cubic or cylindrical if it can determine that one projection will produce a significantly smaller output file than the other. Otherwise, it will convert spherical panoramas to cubic and leave cylindrical panoramas unchanged. However, cubic projection is always used if you have selected the Add top and bottom caps to saved image on the QTVR settings dialog box.
