Have been experimenting with CS2’s "Photomerge" capability which works really well for some of the mountain scenes that I have. My only problem (even with "advanced blending" turned on) is to get graduated tones of sky (different blues, lighting etc.) in the final product.

Anyone have a good way to do this? Thought the "Gradient Tool" might help but can’t seem to work with it.

Use curves to match the channels one at a time. You can do this with the info palette, or by selecting a single channel (ctrl-1, 2, 3) .

Where you might use a gradient is in retaining the sky color through the center of each image in the pano . Dupe the image before adjusting, and use a layer mask with cylindrical gradient that is white on the outside and black in the middle.

I’ve tried it with "match color" before photomerging, that works sometimes. Best thing however, is to lock exposure before taking the pictures. Or you could replace the entire sky.
