ANSWERS

1. Is it possible to join two or more RAW photos together to create a panorama in Capture One?

Currently, you can't stitch pictures together to create a panorama out of multiple shots directly in Capture One.

Instead, after making the necessary adjustments in Capture One, you can continue working with images, i.e. stitching photos to make a panorama, in the external editor.

To open the previously processed images in an external application, just select Image -> Open With -> third-party application.

In case you would like to import panorama to Capture One, see which file formats you can import and whether those images could be further edited in Capture One.

2. Is there an option for focus stacking in Capture One?

When capturing image sequences destined for focus stacking, you can use Capture One to select the appropriate sequence and then export the images to the dedicated focus stacking application Helicon Focus.

The Helicon Focus plugin for Capture One provides a fully automated roundtrip workflow.

3. How can I make HDR photo stacking in Capture One?

For HDR photo stacking, select the photos for further editing, then navigate to Image -> Open With -> third-party application and choose the external editor that supports HDR stacking.
