When I try to convert my project cube-faces back to an equirectangular image, I get strange results when outputting to the jpg format. The cube-faces are tifs. Is this a limitation of Pano2QTvr or am I overlooking something?

Have you switched to the JPEG format in the convert dialog or did you only changed the extention? Normally this is not a good idea to use JPEG for back and forth conversion because you lose much more quality than necessary.

On sphericalpanoramas.com I use detectvr.js to decide which plugin should be used and I am using the conversion from Cubic to Equirect just as quick& dirty method to get an image for showing the panos with PTviewer. I know this is not the best way, but I am showing the PTviewer pano smaller anyhow.

At the moment I only get this to work if in Pano2QTvr I convert to .tif and then afterwards, outside of Pano2QTvr, convert the tif to jpg.
