Hi Max,

This is great news.=20

I started doing some testing, and I have found some interesting
things.

1. Images created using cropped files (during the first stage, the
   actual creation of the panorama files) are not identical to the
   ones created using the non-cropped files. Look at the following
   file:

http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/differenceCroppedTest.psd

This PSD file has 2 layers (the  uncropped is the background, the
cropped is the first layer). The second layer is using difference
blending. The result should be pure back. The third layer has
exagerated contrast to show the difference. It is a subtle difference,
but it is there.

2. ComputingStitchingMasks is still memory hungry. I'll fix it in my
   next patch (ROWSPERSTRIP > 1). It is not using cropped files yet
   (if nobody else is looking into this I'll fix it).

3. Photoshop is not able to read the cropped files properly. Is this a
   bug of a "feature" of the tiffs we are generating? If it can't then
   we need to add an option where they will be resized back to the
   entire size at the end.
