Upgraded to Capture One Pro 22 which offers an embedded panorama module. First trial with four horizontal images I took last year. Originally stitched with PTGui - now with Capture One Pro. The images are made using a pano head and "no-parallax-point-rail", K-1 and DFA28-105@28mm.
Guess this will be sufficient for the kind of panos I do. No need to use intermediate 16 bit tiff and another software. I can choose from four projections. The moment you choose a projection, stitching starts. In this case I chose the exotic panini projection. A virtual result is generated and shown. Change the projection type and this projection is applied. Repeat until you like one, then confirm and a huge DNG file is generated. This file is huge for this kind of projection. Have to check results for the other projections.
Seems you can apply all Capture One Pro functions the usual way to optimize the image to your visualisation and/or liking. Usually the fist function to apply will be cropping.
A significant crop to get an image that can be shown in this thread:
First impression: very easy to use and good stitching result, huge DNG files and some waiting time to get the projection and stored DNG.
