I understand now what you mean, but you cannot possibly get that anyway in a
spherical pano, the pixels are thrown through all kinds of math. And the 1/1
ratio was already lost while converting from fisheye to equirectangular.
But in a cylindrical panorama, you can indeed get this 1/1 with the right
field of view, and I guess that's why cylindrical most often looks sharper.
I wonder how things would look if PTViewer would apply a light unsharp mask
while doing the bipolar interpolation. I know that many people's hairs stand
on end when they hear the word "unsharp mask", but the image in PTV is
really very soft, I haven't heard anyone disagreeing on that so far.
