hi aerial photography @ 1 : 400 scale is quite a good resolution. It is amazing to have the photography done at this scale. Colour balancing between two different flightlines is a major task in photogrammetry. The fuzzy appearance may be due to the dodging parameters used during the mosaicing process or it may be due to the improper positional accuracy of the features between the orthos from different flightlines / models in the same flight line.
It is always suggested to have the ortho created for the center of the photograph to avoid the relief errors (as the scale of photography is large) and to avoid the distortion errors at the peripherals. i.e instead of creating ortho photos for one model completely (with one/two underlying images of the model), the ortho should be created for the central of the photograph. For this DEM may have to merged for the adjacent models. Initial planning of this may sort this issue. This way may solve the positional inaccuracies.
For colour balancing, orthovista will be good. Recently we had an experience of creating a seamless ortho mosaic in LPS (leica photogrammetry suite), which was excellent. but it was a b&W imagery. For colour, atleast within the mosaic, we can be able to get a seamless mosaic, with more extra care (considerable time). Photoshop may also have to be used extensively sometimes.
