This is a rather complicated story. I did two 5-exposure sets of this mountain, one landscape and one portrait. The top of the mountain was cut off in the landscape version. I merged each 5 exposure set with the same preset in Photomatix, returned them to LR5, and then used the panorama engine in CS6. This is the result, which I rather like. It catches the beauty of an autumn day in the Southern California mountains. I’ll remove the spot in the upper corner later, and perhaps modify the colors a bit as well.
