I have been experimenting a bit to explore how far one can push the image alignment feature offered in Adobe Photoshop 2024.
First a GIF animation of unaligned images, i.e. as captured by the camera.
Next a GIF animation of the corresponding aligned images.

I wonder what alignment algorithms are used in Adobe Photoshop 2024?
Which features in the above images did PS 2024 select and focus the alignment on?
Any insights or suggestions are welcome. TIA.
3 GIF Animations: • as shot, • aligned, • alignerd and cropped.
• As shot
• Aligned
• Aligned and Cropped

• As one can see in the first GIF the camera wasn't held steady enough to result in a smooth video display.
• The second GIF shows camera motion in the X-Y-plane and rolling around the camera's optical axis, as the road we were driving on had a changing sideways slope.
• Finally the third GIF shows a more smooth display, but not smooth enough for my taste. It is also not clear to me which features in the images the PS 2024 alignment algorithms tried to align from frame to frame.
