Stitching Panos with Capture One (and shooting them)

Capture One introduced their panoramic stitching feature with Capture One 22, and it's only gotten better with each iteration since (we're now on C1 23). A number of photographers I work with continue to use Adobe's merge to panoramic, but I increasingly find that the Capture option is equal, and keeps everything within the C1 workflow.

In the film I go through both how to capture a panoramic successfully, and then how to stitch the files together in Capture One. Use the timeline chapters to jump to the editing if you already know about how to capture the images in the first place.

Observant viewers might notice some discrepancy between the video and the stills...yup...first go had some filming issues, so I had to do a repeat visit to Monteseel.

Thanks for watching!
