psPlan.par
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.
