Hi,
krpano supports only 'flatten' psd/psb files - that means when all layers are flatten down to the background layer.
You could select that either directly in PTGUI when stitching or flatten the image later in Photoshop.
The reasons is that otherwise krpano would need to support all kind of Photoshop layer operations to reconstruct the image before it could actually start processing it. But that's not new to the new droplet, that was always the case.
About 'hyper photos' - sorry, I have never heard that therm, what kind of images are that?
Best regards,
Klaus
