Sorry, I'm a touch confused, and want to be sure I understand. There are 3 times that we need to get the formats right: input to hdmake, output from hdmake, and input to hdview.
I think I understand your previous post to say that hdmake will read jpg, wdp, tif, png, or bmp files. And that output of hdmake is only wdp.
What I'm not certain of are the formats that HD View will read.
