Hi Sho,
Importing stacks as patches from stack files is a somehow ill-designed concept in TrakEM2. Even if it worked, you would have TrakEM2 load the complete stack over and over again whenever it generates deformed patches (or mouse over them), which makes bad performance across the board. If you have a chance to export your Imaris files into a series of 2D tiff files, TrakEM2 will act much better. I am not sure about ome.tiff but generally have bad memories about Bioformats interactions in TrakEM2. Have you tried plain tiff in ImageJ style?

TrakEM2 does not work well with multi-channel images. You can, though
export all channels independently, import them as individual patches (from import txt files that can be easily generated with scripts or e.g. Excel), and display them with additive composite mode and color filters (play with 'adjust image filters' and 'properties' > 'overlay mode' on selections of patches). Transformations applied to a layer (section) would then affect all patches in the layer, and you can use a subset of the patches for alignment by making others invisible. So, the answer has layers ;): Yes, there is a way to get it to work, but it is different from what one would intuitively expect to do.
