Using panorama feature sometimes happen i have different tones moving across the picture (eg. because of the sun position). At the end i have this result.

Is there any way to level out the colors?

But the final result is much better if you do basic color correction on each frame before the merge. And much easier to control.

Shoul i do this by eye or is there any method to judge the chromatic levels?

Just use your eyes. You can easily tell the left side from the right side of your original example. Just make them visually similar before the merge.

 You could try adjustment layers with a gradiated mask (in the screenshot they are curves layers, I did a quick test).

Sorry if I didn't see the attachement originally.

Hi, which kind of grandient map? the default ones are too artistic for my purposes.

Hi, 

 

Gradiated mask is just a layer mask fading from black to white reducing the intensity along the fade. Gradient maps are different as they reassign colour based on luminance. 

 

So, for your image I color corrected the left side then made that correction fade out to the right. Then repeated for the other side.

You need to work a little on each individual frame first. Make sure to not only match exposure and white balance, but also vignetting and geometric distortion (the latter two handled by the lens profile).

Your screenshot is missing 🙂
