Plan File for Postage Stamp Pipeline


This is an example of psPlan.par file which is used to supply all logistical information to PSP (parameters which control PSP algorithms are supplied in psParam.par. All data is entered in form keyword - value. In case of multiple entries the last one counts. This example assumes that the data is stored in directory $PHOTODATA_DIR.
