Photo stitching with uniform light level

Branch

I see plenty of threads here advising on photo stitching software etc. I have tried several different types trials and freeware photo stitchers but none equalise the light level. Just I have this great panoramic but the sky has a darker shade of blue compared to the other photo. Is there a stitcher program out there that can do it?? ideally a cheap or freeware program

You can do the lot in Photoshop. You probably don't have PS CS4 but you can download a trail version from the Adobe website. What you could do is try and match up the images, If they were taken under very similar circumstances but are slightly different color casts, you can run one in a filter using a function called Color Match (I think, If i remember correctly ). Using one image as the source. You could then stitch the panorama together within Photoshop using one of the Photomerge functions.

Can you not adjust the seperate images first, before stitching so the stitching software has the best chance of giving you a good result. Have found microsoft ice and autostitch ok at matching colour

Photoshop seems like a good idea, ya photos all taken at the same time but with sun been in different position it appear the sky mainly to a differnet shade. I Think i'll give Ice a go first (as its free!!!) even though it could be similar to the panoramic creator in Windows 7 and did a very good job but didn't have the uniform colour.
