Photomerge only uses one photo

Question

When I select multiple photos to merge, Photomerge only uses the last one selected, even though all of them are still selected. If you look at before/after, it splits the single photo in two, as if the halves had been merged.

PS Elements 2020 for the Mac

Mac Mini M1, 16GB memory

Sequoia 15.3

Any ideas on how to fix this?

You need to show us. This normally happens when there isn't enough solid overlap (around 40% is required).

Solid overlap means structured areas, flat color such as sky doesn't count. Moving waves will also throw the algorithm off. It really has to be solid ground.

Yes, I know, today AI magic is expected everywhere, but this is an old algorithm that relies on pattern recognition.
