My first IR panorama

What happens if you put a Lee 87 filter in the filter slot of the Nikon 10.5mm and take 360 degree panorama...
You don't see anything in the viewfinder and you end-up with an IR photo!

This is my first attempt. I was shooting into the sun so I bracketed (-2,0,+2) and used Photomatix to generate an HDR.
This is the result after tonemapping and a bit of smart sharpen in PS CS3 beta.

PS CS 3 has been released but...there are huge price difference between the US and Europe.

I hope Adobe does something about this!
Otherwise I'll have to look for a good alternative...
I shouldn't be too difficult because I'm already using Raw Developer instead of Photoshop CS to convert my raw files, iView Pro, PTGui, CubicConvertor etc.


Feel free to advice me on a good image editor (for os x) with Photoshop plugin support and color management!
