New K1ii so time for my first PS and pano

A couple of months ago I upgraded my trusty K3 for a new K1ii and also had to upgrade to LRCC to work with the K1 files. Following some research into PS on this forum, I decided it was time to attempt a PS photo. I also noticed that LRCC could create pano shots, something else that I had never previously attempted, so I decided to make my first PS photo a PS-pano. What could possibly go wrong?? I chose to do a early morning cityscape of Melbourne on a cold (5degC/40deF - ok cold by my standards) but very still morning. The pano was 6 landscape shots, all pixel shift, using the DA*300F4. On advice from this thread, I downloaded Raw Therapee and imported the files and then exported them as tiffs. I then imported these into LRCC and created the pano. I also imported the ~150mb .dng files directly into LRCC and created a pano. The resulting direct import pano was a bit sharper than that created via RT (is RT only recommended when there is some motion in the shot?). Either way the results impressed me with amazing resolution only reduced by the heat haze rising from the city on a cold morning. Very happy with the technology from Pentax and Adobe. The full file can be viewed from Dropbox - 18051889-Pano.jpg Comments and critiques welcomed.

Pixel shift of the Alcázar of Segovia, processed in DCU. Been meaning to try out Raw Therapee sometime.
Years ago, 2001, while living in Zurich, we made a trip to Spain. I remember thinking, as we drove across the countryside, how much this reminded me of Saskatchewan in Canada. This is until the Alcázar of Segovia started emerging out of the horizon and the fields.

K1 Irix 11mm Sunset

Hand Held P/S
Processed in C1. I have been noticing that C1 seems to be handling the P/S photos better. the output would also suggest that C1 is handling the photos differently as the Jpeg are in the 35 to 40 MB range and the tiffs are over 200MB. The recovery of the darks is excellent.

Can C1 process hand held PS?

As far as I know, only the software baked into the K-1 MkII can process its own handheld pixel shift shots. Capture One is just processing the first frame thus the 35 mb file size.

thats what they say but my processed files in tiff are well over 200MB and the Jpeg are 26 to 36MB. I am also able to recover the shadows better with the P/S shot in comparison to the non P/S with C1.
C1 is doing Sony P/S so don't know if its doing anything else.

the hand held is just keeping a steady hand and pressing the button and waiting for the 4 photos to take. I have been lately adjusting for the sky then recovering the shadows in C-1 using their layer tools. I have tried raw therapee but have not had good luck.

A pixelshifted jpeg is not necessarily any larger than its normal counterpart. Uncompressed tiff should be exactly the same size. Once demosaiced it's just the same amount of flat pixels. Detail and noise makes jpgs compress less well hence a bit larger file size. Pixelshift reduces noise and enhances detail so where you land is hard to say.
