No problem. I only know enough to get myself into trouble in photoshop. LOL.

Old MT Shooter sure is getting crotchety up there this winter. 
With due respect, why blame MT Shooter for simply telling you something you don't like. I have read many times here, when stitching photos always use the same lens settings. It isn't his fault if you missed the memo.
Excellent photo by the way.
Have a wonderful day,
Dennis

I have shot wide angles without a CPL and had one side lighter than the other. Sometimes that is the way the light is. When I look at your photo in download the difference doesn't bother "me" at all.
This is a really great shot, the beautiful light and shadows really make this a stunner. My shots from there are more middle of the day and not nearly as dynamic. I say enjoy what you have.

The method I use is to first make a new layer. Use your soft brush tool and make it around 300, or larger, at 10% opacity. Pick the color of the darkest area of the blue color. Lightly blend on the left side and the right side, lightly building up, until you have the color even across the top of the sky. To reduce any over-spray on the clouds, you may have to use the eraser tool, again at least 300 or larger, set at 10%. I would just eliminate the lone cloud on the upper right.
Hope this helps.

What about using 2 graduated filters overlapped in Lightroom to lighten up the center dark area of sky. You could use the brush to keep the effect away from the ground.

No worries. Mt's tough as a boot from my experience.

This has bitten me too often. I now remove the polarizer and do a little PS work with the natural sky. Where was this taken. What a beautiful spot.

Polorizers work best when the sun is over head when you use one when the sun is off to the side this will always happen try to keep the sun to your back or over head it just the characteristic of polarizers.

These are all good tips. When I shot the image, I forgot that basic. It will be a while (I hope) before I forget. that one again.
Thanks for all the participation, everyone.
