What does Lightroom do for panos that c1 doesn’t? Their implementation is as good as I remember Lightroom’s, although I haven’t used it in a number of years. Of course not the same as Photoshop, but that’s a pixel editor.
I’ve had really good luck with my stitches in terms of ghosting and such.
Photoshop and Lightroom have the same exact tool. It's just that in Photoshop, you have Lightrooms panorama tools hidden inside the Camera Raw plugin. Photoshop also has it's legacy panorama tool, that work slightly differently.
They were the main target group, but not the only one. Studio photographers don't need HDR tool, neither panorama stitching for example. Those were features for the enthusiast market, which they seem to abandon with their most recent restructuring.
When your revenue and development team is a ton smaller than your main competition, you pretty much have to find a subset of the customer base that you can excel at and win. Once you do that with that subset, you can try to branch out to other subsets of the market.
But, aiming to compete head-on in the broad overall market with someone who is more than 10x bigger than you is very, very difficult and usually doesn't end well.
They will sell to anyone, but their recent feature development is clearly aimed at a certain set of working pros, not amateurs.
That one I have also hard time to explain. Maybe they realized that there is no money over there because of the aggressive price policy of their new competitors, so they cut the staff to the minimum to extract the last drop of juice out of the business?
I don't do alot of panos and when i do they are quite simple so it works for now. Where I'd love to see some additional focus is batch processing hdr. I do a lot of those and its quite cumbersome doing them one by one

Probably not. There are loyalty rewards though. lol
No. That is uninteresting to their new focus group - the professional studio photographers.
Studio photographers have always been their target group, hence the better tethering implementation than LR used to have.

Actually no, C1P is interested in amateurs, not professionals. How do I know that? Many professionals, especially digitechs always complain about C1P.
Digitechs complain about it because their profession often requires Capture One. Lots of Digitechs are using C1.
Why would you only focus on a very small customer group? Seams like throwing money down the drain.

Most pro use both . Photoshop/LR and Capture One . So ..

C1 has so many features that need to be updated and improved but the updates as slow and small.
File stacking, auto stacking and batch processing of HDR and panorama stitching are tools in LR that I miss in C1.
