We present the result of comparison of Gaia DR2 parallaxes and photometry with data derived from a combined analysis of 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, and UKIDSS surveys in four selected high-latitude sky areas. We have shown that, under certain circumstances, multicolor photometric data from large modern surveys can be successfully used for parameterization of stars, including estimation of distance and interstellar extinction value.
