If your camera body has the capability to stack images within the firmware, and to output both JPG and RAW images already stacked(as so many currently do), why do you need an additional body of work to be added to the post-processing within darktable or Hugin?  I'm curious as to the thinking.

If you have installed the script-manager it is located bottom right lightable menu column Hugin needs tif/tiff exported data so you can process in dt then directly move to Hugin. If the script manage is not in place, then use Hugin anyway. On 2020-04-19 5:32 p.m., darkta...@911networks.com

No, focus stacking is not a form of HDR (and darktable doesn't do focus stacking). In the first case you take the best focused parts of each image, in the second case you take the best exposed parts (roughly speaking). The algorithms involved in both cases are very different. Best regards,
