 Radial Luminance in the original panotools distribution caused some banding especially in areas with uniform color (like sky f.e.) because of 8 bit operation. The [[pano12]] developers solved this problem recently (version 2.7.0.6) and with the 16 bit version ([[#Preface|see top]]) it should be no problem at all (if used in 16 bit).

 Here a brief description and some links to tutorials that deal with the particular filter. (More information can be found in the [[Panotools plugins Readme#How to use the filters|Panotools plugins Readme file]])
-=== Adjust ===
+=== PTAdjust ===
 The most powerful of the filters. In the upper part of the dialog it lets you extract and insert images of any projection into and from images of any projection. The lower part is dedicated to reading control points and running the optimizer. The functionality of the lower part is mostly replaced by the common [[GUI front-ends]] now. (See also [[Panotools plugins Readme#Adjust|Panotools plugins Readme file]])
@@ Line 65: / Line 66: @@
 The "Use Script" option loads a text file script to set the preferences for the Adjust plug-in.  Valid scripts include [[PTOptimizer]] and [[PTStitcher]] scripts.  The file type must be text.  Two uses for this option are to run the Optimizer without using [[PTOptimizer]], to extract a set of images from a panorama (Adjust must be run once for each output image) or to stitch (Adjust must be run once for each input image).
-=== Correct ===
+=== PTCorrect ===
 These filter gathers some useful functions that have not directly to do with panorama. Each of the corrections has a separate Options dialog. All of the corrections are made in one transformation step thus avoiding unnecessary [[interpolation]] steps. (See also: [[Panotools plugins Readme#Correct|Panotools plugins Readme file]])

 All settings made in the Correct filter can be saved to and loaded from a binary preferences file. [[PTShift]] makes use of this ability to directly save chromatic aberration correction parameters to Correct, Radial Shift settings.

 The dialog has two parts, an upper one that specifies the image to extract or insert and a lower one that specifies the panorama from and to where the extraction/insertion should be done and how this should be performed.
-Only values that can not be read from the source image must be specified. This is f.e. HFOV (horizontal [[field of view]]), Format and Position in any case and Width and Height only for result images.

 In addition there is a 'Correct' button in the upper part, which opens the same dialog as the [[#Correct|Correct]] filter. Any transformation that is specified there is performed on the source image together (in one mathematical operation) with the Adjust filter operation in order to avoid unnecessary [[interpolation]] steps.
