These days pretty much all matte painting is done in Photoshop.  Some 
scenes
are painted from scratch and others pieced together from vast image 
libraries.
These artists have massive archives of skies, textures etc that they 
integrate into
their paintings. Sort of a photorealistic collage. Other times they 
will build a quick
mock up from basic shapes in a 3d package like Maya (imagine a 3d 
drafting program)
to get the perspective right and then paint the photorealistic textures 
on top of that
skeleton in Photoshop. Very interesting work. Some of these folks are 
incredible talented
and are always in high demand.

Here is one guy who's been around a long time and made the transition 
from paint and palette
to bits and bytes.
