Adjust the height of the tripod instead. Photoshop's Photomerge feature was able to cope with a series of images that had some tilt, but because the tilt was not exactly the same, that came at a cost of considerable distortion. I got much better results from those images by straightening the horizon in Lightroom before stitching them in Photoshop.
