I have been doing some landscape shooting here in Cornwall with my Z7.
Up until this year the support for merging RAW images seemed to be very poor and you had to either do it by hand in Photoshop or other image editors.
However it seems that the latest version of LR and PS now support this but since I wont be paying Adobe any money I wont be using their software.  
To solve this Skylum (previously MacPhun) produce Aurora 2019 but also they have Luminar3, and I have licenses for both, likewise for ON1 RAWphoto2019.  
Once again I have to say that Adobe's attitude to smaller non-corporate users had resulted in them losing revenue as I will NEVER pay subscription for software.  I can name 30 other people who feel the same and so I would say I am not alone with this feeling of resentment towards Adobe.  

I have been experimenting with HDR and find the results interesting in that the traditional 5/7/9image set seem to me a little OTT as I can get a similar result in Photoshop CS6 using a single RAW file but developed to yield a +1.5/0/-1.5 single image that I can blend via Photoshop layers and some actions.

I am on my ipad at present so dont have images available to post.
