tried a small comparison of a stacking in camera and its function, then I used the raw files for Zerene stacker and PS
don't know if it's visible as clearly here and this resolution
not quite the same white balance and not 100% the same crop but close
same sharpening and equivalent edit
PS doesn't seem to handle the front wings as well.. why I don't know but I tried 3 times to do the stacking and got the same result
first picture is camera and its program
second is PS and last Zerene
You can check on flickr and higher resolution also
quite a big difference between the eye and face with Zerene and PS versus the camera's function.. but it's probably best seen on flickr in higher resolution

The High Res mode on the OM-1 can be used handheld to make a 50MP RAW image. It does this by taking 12 images and combining them, and it does this relatively quickly, about 5 seconds. Because wildlife usually moves it’s not a feature used very often for wildlife photography. However, whenever the situation presents itself it’s an amazing feature to have at your fingertips.

Great comparison Ronny. Thanks for doing this. It's something I've been wondering about and I'm now pretty confident that I'll just keep doing it in camera

Thanks Gary !
I would usually say that you get a better result by use the raw images in your stack and then stacking them manually in a stacking program.. you usually get a little better detail
but of course it is a little more time-consuming
on images that are in this resolution it is not visible as much but and you look at them in higher resolution and on these images I showed here you can see a pretty clear advantage on Zerene and also the PS stacking even if PS did not handle the wings so well.. it could also be that it is a handheld stacking and I got movement on my stack and PS didn't do so well here
So the advantage with the dragonfly's is the face and eye on this shot

On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but declining birds make no nest. Their young are so well camouflaged that they’re hard to find, and even the adults seem to vanish as soon as they land.
