I have a Nikon Coolpix 5000 and a Nikon Fisheye Converter FC-E8 0.21x. I wonder if I can remap or transforme one hemisphere to a "normal" (rectilinear) picture? I would like to do a full zoom fir my hemisphere and transform it to a "wide angle" picture. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have tride PanoTools plug-in in Photoshop, but I can not seem to get it right.

Sure, these were taken in Mexico.  Remember that a fisheye view is a fisheye view.  Nikon 990 FCE8. 

Panoweaver can dewarp single images.

Panoweaver stitched single image.  Above image dewarped to 1500 x 1500 6.44mb  resized to 300 x 300 11.5kb

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I have Panooweaver myself, but does not know how to dewarp an image like this. I have tried to stitch a single hemisphere, but that only makes it worse... I tried with a full zoom. I my have to by an wide angle lense instead...

How do you dewarp that way with Panoweaver? do you have to tune settings for one fisheye pic?

and if yes which settings do you use?

Hi dlot:

I think you only have to select option #1 Stitch 1 image and load that 1 fisheye picture, then automatically stitch it. 

The dewarped results are the same as above.

There's a utility called PT Lens which utilises Panorama Tools to correct barrell distortion and other lens imperfections

I got excited so I fired up Panoweaver, loaded one fisheye, selected 'Single Hemisphere File' and clicked the stitch icon. Here are the before and after:

CP995 :: FC-E8 :: Fisheye 1 Setting

IMHO not exactly 'defished'. Perhaps I missed a setting?

Having read your need, I did this tutorial for you. I hope it serves your need. Sorry it was so late, as I just recently registered here.
