Blending sky colors

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.
