Looking for some suggestions on photo stitching software.
PTGui is available for both Windows and MacOs. Works exceptionally well.

I use Lightroom and Photoshop mostly, but also use Panotools/GUI - (PTGUI), and Microsoft's ICE. Shooting panos I typically use a 45mm lens or longer to minimize the distortions that using very wide angles have, and overlap at least 50%.

Microsoft ICE works great, and the price is $0.00

Wow....those are incredibly beautiful photos, Gene!! Thanks for the tip on shooting with a 45mm or longer lens. I had read something quite a while ago, probably on this site, to shoot panos vertically, then stitch together. I haven't tried it yet, so thank you for sharing your photos; you've inspired me to give it a try!

Microsoft has "Image Composite Editor" free, easy, works well, need I say more?
I have used Ps 2020 and it's a hit and miss affair. In one case the software I usually use, which takes a bit more time, did a far better job than Ps did. There were several areas, especially those with some lack of details that completely confused Ps but stitched rather well in my usual software. Here are the completed comparisons.
This started as a 5row x 4column array of exposures. The exposure was made during a large brush fire occurring just north of this location. Additionally, it's poorly composed but have a sufficient amount of sky in the captures was more important.
Note: these were never intended to be publicly consumed. They were part of a Lens Color Correction process that I've been working on in conjunction with this technique.

Great pics Gene, they just blow me away!

Your photos satisfy the eye. Your compositions carry the day. You obviously have mastered stitching photos together.
Let me please make one suggestion: Try lifting the mid-tones a bit to bring out more potential of the photograph.

Bob, could you share the name of your usual software? Thanks
Juan, I never really named it. For lack of any creativity, I just called it stitch.
