PS CS 3, I have not bothered to upgrade since I use it so little. Here is the

Note the banding in the sky. I could not get rid of it no matter what. Until I 
downoaded Hugin and tried it:

In both cases, if you click on the two little rectangles below or above the 
picture, you can see it in screen-filling size.

Cheers,
Nathan
