YEP, best yet!  I tried it on some rich blue skies and it looks 
great, little posterisation and adding a little noise kills the 
banding.  Retains the original balance pretty well too!
Thanks, I will give this an extended trial on some more complicated 
skies - ie ones with a dead tree smack in the middle, I've always 
found these next to impossible to get right.
