Still no thumbnail stacking feature in C1 20 browser
Hi,
I expected that version 13/20 of C1 could eventually implement this handy feature that is available in Lightroom since the beginning. The code is already there. Instead of stacking only variants of the same image, let us stack photos at will, even if they are not identical.
It's really a pity.

I don't understand that logic.
Phase One has never, to my (admittedly limited) knowledge, proposed to introduce stacking, and there's "I expected it because some other software has it" makes little sense.
By the same token, should I expect "Solo Mode" on the tools in Capture One? After all, Lr has had Solo Mode forever, and I used to rely on it when I was an Lr user.
Or how about Alt-key Sharpening/NR masking? That's a fantastically useful tool, and absolutely appropriate to be found in a Raw converter: even ACDSee Photo Studio Professional has it.
No.
I can want Solo Mode and Alt-key masking all I want; but I have no business expecting them - or any other feature - miraculously to appear in Capture One, just because some other application has them. It doesn't really work like that.
You'll have raised a Feature Request for stacking, I suppose?The code is already there. Instead of stacking only variants of the same image, let us stack photos at will, even if they are not identical
I imagine it's not quite that straightforward...0 -
Keith,
You're playing with words against a user whose mother language is not English. Replace "expect" with "hope" and that's it.Keith Reeder wrote:

Since version 9 a lot of requests have been accumulating in my "My Cases" page. None of them has ever been taken into account (although they were supported by other users). Now that requests related to C1 have been moved to another area and are handled in a very different (read "significantly downgraded") way than requests related to hardware, I guess that nobody will look back again at this database.Keith Reeder wrote:

You're correct. Given the rather simplistic structure of the C1 database when compared to the LR catalog, I can understand that implementing stacking in C1 will be more difficult than in LR. Ditto for other features, by the way.0 -

No. It's about stacking image thumbnails in the browser window. In LR you can group (stack) similar images (not only variants) and fold/unfold that group when needed. This makes the browser less crowded and easier to navigate. You can also specify which image is at the top of the stack (it's the only visible thumbnail when the stack is folded). Extremely practical.0 -

I think not.
More likely, as I recall from older threads, the ability to pick a selection of files and "stack" them in a way that allows the browser to display them as a single thumbnail or to be expanded in much the same way that C1 offers with single image variants at the moment.
The difference, of course, is that the single image variants all share the same edit instruction file (The "settings" file if you are familiar with sessions and, afaik, the same comask file for layer masks.
The ability to stack various unrelated source files and perhaps even selected variants of different source files would seem to be a rather different requirement. Perhaps something more like an album display where only the first image variant found was displayed as the thumbnail.
I suspect that users, if informed that "stacking" had become available would expect focus stacking AND HDR type stacking to be part of the offering. Some may also anticipate it being then a simple step to creating panoramas ...
One notes that Phase's latest Digital Backs offer a type of multiframe to single exposure process but as I recall it is handled in the back. ("Flexible Sequencing Tools") however this is to do with exposure handling rather than focus stacking according to the description.
HTH.

ETA: I see Samoreen has responded already but having typed this I'll post it anyway.0
