Olympus E-520 support?

I have the brand new Olympus E-520 DSLR along with Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on a Mac. I updated the Camera Raw to version 4.4.1 to see if I can open these E-520 RAW images (.orf), but that didn't work.
I'm guessing Olympus E520 isn't supported yet, am I right?
Do need an example RAW?

> I recommend the supplied with the camera software which has an excellent converter.
Oly Master definitely has its pluses and minuses, but you're likely to get exactly the same results as the in-camera JPEG engine. I'd suggest you use Master to deliver low-contrast 16bit TIFs that you can develop further with ACR. The advantages of using Master are pretty much limited to noise reduction and sharpness (as if Oly knows its cameras' raw data best). The disadvangares will be apparent if you try to recover highlights, or if you've grown accustomed to ACR's excellent tonal controls.

Cannot import ORF-files from Olympus E-520

Hi,
One of my friends has this problem:
When he plugs in his new Olympus E-520 to iPhoto '08, and clicks 'import', this output comes:
http://upit.jtw.dk/dl/q29/
Sorry about it being in danish, but basicly what it says is that the files are unreadable, and cannot be imported for that reason. This seems strange to me, as iPhoto should support ORF-files.
Also I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem on the internet.
Why Apple, oh why ?..

Is your friend shooting RAW format? If so then the camera is not supported. Mac OS X 10.5: Digital camera RAW formats supported.
Have him try using Image Capture or a card reader to get the files to the desktop and see if they will import from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Photoshop Elements 7 in RAW with camera Olympus E-520.

My Photoshop Elements 7 will not read .ORF files made by a camera Olympus E-520. The system message is: Cannot read the file because of wrong file type. and The module interface cannot process this file.
When I open the Editor and want to open the ORF file type is shown in the filetype picklist.
My new PC is running with Windows 7.
The Camera Raw.8BI plugin is installed from the original CD.
What goes wrong and how can I solve this?

Download and install Adobe CAmera Raw 5.6. Please follow the installation directions exactly.

Olympus E-520 RAW files

Just got back from overseas, and back to my mac, with a new Olympus E-520 to replace my E-410 which was fine in Aperture. Any ideas when the Olympus update will appear in Aperture?

There is a great workaround trivial bash script for this issue which changes E-520 to E-510 tag for all files in directory
1 - make text file named "fix.sh", than put inside this file folowing
#!/bin/bash
for i in `find . -type f`;
do sed s/E-520/E-510/ < $i > $i.new.ORF ;
done
2 - from the terminal, chmod +x fix.sh, note that you should be in the same directory where this file lies.
3 - copy it to the folder with your ORFs and run from terminal. Shotrly you will have copies of your RAWs named *.new.ORF.
4 - Enjoy!

LR 3.3 - Olympus E-5 Support for Raw-Format, Lens Correction Profiles for Zuiko Lenses

Ich wish strongly Olympus E-5 Support for Raw-Format for Ligtroom 3.3,... and i wait since ages for Lens Correction Profiles of Zuiko Lenses ;-)) There are plenty of Olympus users who yearn for that :-)
Will Release 3.3 support this?

Hi,
LR3.3 is released today, and it has support for Olympus E-5 added to it. Details of it can be found here;

Olympus e30 Raw support? Will there be a UPdate?

I am using LRf2.3 64-bit Vista, and a new Olympus e30
When I import and convert to DNG I notice on the e30 files that I am using Adobe Standard as the Camera Calibration. Does not even have a listing for the current ACR 5.3 to choose.
Read on DPR that the Olympus e30 support in LR v2.3 is not optimal (sub-optimal as DPR put it)    Which my gut feeling tells me it is true.
link to DPR mention of this:   http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse30/page31.asp
Also, strange goings on when I import with AUTO exposure ... which was pretty close before (only had to change the Brightness slider down on other OLY files).
Question:   Is the Update comming Soon?
Question: What are my solution options?   Has anyone found a good workaround for now?
Strange to me Adobe did not correct this already.

Zuikoke, LR v2.4 e30 color on the defaut import   ... I normally import (and convert to DNG) using the e-30 "as shot" WB ... which I find, during the day and flash, the e30 WB it pretty good ... so, I use it as a starting point and do a small tweak from there.
On the ... 'brownish' contrasty tone ... I might see that in the "Skin Tones" ... but, an adj on exp. / fill light seems to help this quickly ... but, on something important I normally smooth/adj the skin (separatly) a little anyway.
At this point I think any color issues I might have could be solved on a small tweak in a default import Pre-set.   My issue with the conversion is Sharpness and Noise on a 12mp e30 file (vs my 10mp e510 files) ... and the DPR review/thing only made me wonder more (they get to convert/compaire using different software.   And it does not seem to be with the camera , it "seems" the conversion could be BETTER. (sharper, on the default import)
Would also like to see LR have the OLY Natural and Vivid options ... to copy the output of the OLY JPG (which is very good, but, I don't use lol)
* also, wish Olympus would work together with Adobe and have there bodys output DNG files that "THEY / Olympus" can optimize ... so, there is no need for a version update for every new OLY body.
Just my take on it.

Olympus E-510 Support

Adobe: I have had my Olympus E-510 for over 2 months now, and I am getting weary of waiting for you to support this model with your Camera Raw.

He might argue that it's meant to be implicitly plural, but then it should have been something like

This guy isn't a good writer. He's simply pompous and pontificating. His superfluous use of

Olympus E-3 support- when?

This is one of the cameras I have and though I am not a fan of post processing in general, it's good to have that option when I feel I really need it + organize some work. I can understand supporting Nikon/Canon from the get go, but Sony Alpha 700 and not the E-3?
If Apple wants Aperture to compete well with LightRoom they really need to up the support.
It's just too bad because I love Aperture 2.0 a lot so far (ther than the still-don't have but already got charged for upgrade key).
- Raist

It's good to know that this works. I have yet to try it, or even decide whether or not ever to try it, as I am so very disappointed with the lack of support for the Olympus E-3 .ORF files in the latest OS X update as well as A2, and am really feeling pushed by Apple toward Adobe. I don't want to go there (other than to continue with my long-standing use of Photoshop), but I also really don't want to add another step (conversion to .DNG) to my workflow, so I haven't even downloaded the A2 trial. The .DNG stuff really feels like being relegated to less than equal, second-class status when it comes to obtaining the very best possible image quality from native RAW files. Maybe I just don't understand .DNG very well; I'd welcome further enlightenment in this area. It seems sadly ironic to me that to get any sort of RAW file access in A2 right now, I'd have to use an Adobe product (the free .DNG converter), but if I went to A2's Adobe competitor, my Olympus E-3 .ORFs would be handled natively. This just seems crazy to me.

Olympus EP-3 Support

I know it's not Adobe's policy to talk about unreleased products, so I'd just like to voice a request that this camera, the Olympus EP-3, be supported in Lightroom and ACR. I can't really trust manufacturer-supplied RAW converters for real work the way I can Lightroom and Photoshop and the other RAW converters are (pardon me for saying this) kind of a joke by comparison. Adobe, you already support the Fuji X100 -- this is a similar category of camera so I'm hoping for support soon
Thanks!

It makes sense that barring some technical foobar, there will be support in the next release *if there is market demand*. Right now, the vendor software, although better than most, is completely unacceptable as compared to ACR. Adobe: Even a beta would be welcome!!!

Olympus OM-1 support

How do I obtain lens distortion correction for my Olympus 12-40 2.8 lens? Why doesn't adobe support this particular camera?

Thanks for the heads-up Frank!
It's an impressive list. And the good news is, the updates is compatible with the latest Mountain Lion and does not require Mavericks.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.06 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1757
System Requirements
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 3.4.5
OS X Mavericks 10.9 w/ iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 3.4.5

Olympus E520 RAW support

This is not necessarily specific to Apple, but since I use Aperture right now it applies here. I've had a new Olympus E520 camera for several weeks now and it is still not supported by Aperture (nor Lightroom, although Adobe's DNG Converter version 4.5 for Windows does support it). This is immensely frustrating since the Olympus software crashes on my Mac Pro (I would prefer not to use it anyway, and after a 15 days trial I'll have to buy it to convert my Olympus RAW files).
The industry needs to change such that when a new camera is released it is already supported by photo apps. Fine if I have to go an download it, I don't mind that. But having to wait (and wait) for an update long after the camera is released is simply wrong in this day and time. The camera companies need to provide whatever info is necessary for the photo app companies to create their RAW converters and the photo app companies need to work to keep up in a timely fashion.
So... here's to Olympus E520 support in Aperture, soon : )

You have to buy the software to convert their RAW files? UGH.
Your first (current) option is to use Adobe's DNG converter (as you noted) version 4.5 to create DNG files, that Aperture should be able to use. There is a Mac version of this software as well. It's an extra step, but it will work.
There's no reason you shouldn't also use Aperture's "submit feedback" mechanism to let Apple know what camera you're using. This forum isn't officially staffed by the Aperture team. So while Joe Schorr pops his head in every once in a while, there's no guarantee Apple is seeing your note here. Submit feedback will be seen

Olympus E-3 support

It's larger than I was expecting, but I'll be getting one. Let's hope that Apple provides prompt support in Aperture.
Cheers,
Andreas

I've been waiting for months for support for the e510. The emails announcing the e3 and OS X Leopard arrived next to each other in my inbox. So I rang Apple to ask whether Leopard will be compatible with RAW files from the e510.
First person I spoke to said it was a very technical question and I'd need to speak to one of their engineers, to whom he then transferred me.
The engineer then told me he didn't know. Further, that type of information was 'confidential'! I said there therefore seemed no point in pre-ordering Leopard (the purpose of their original email). He agred, and advised me to wait until after Leopard's release, when presumeably it will become apparent whether they have done it.
I think Olympus and Apple need to be talking to each other.
Will the e3 produce the same RAW files as the e410 & e510, do you know?
Anyone from Olympus or Apple care to comment?

OLympus E-600 support

Hi: Lightroom doesn't seem to support the Olympus E600, so two questions.
1. How does one find out when it will? Can one jump up and down to persuade Adobe?
2. In the meantime is there any work around? I remember reading somewhere that one can edit the Exif data and change 600 to 620. Then Lightroom will recognize the image. Sounds tedious!
Any advice please?
Thanks.
Donald

Donald,
Sorry, my post was missleading. I meant to say "You could use DNG Converter 6.1 to convert your RAW files into a DNGs and import the DNGs into LR".
Together with any ACR release, also a new DNG Converter is released, so there is a DNG Converter 6.1 available here. DNG Converter is a standalone application to convert RAW files to DNG, which you then can import in LR. You don't need PS or PSE to do so.

When is disponible Adobe Camrera Raw 6.7 with Olympus E-M5 support?

If i need wait other 3 month for new version 3.8 to support E-M5 RAW i will use other software forever.

Olympus E-5 support

Olympus E-5 was release last October and there is no indication whether Adobe is going to support it in the next camera raw update. What I do know to go over this problem is to change the camera name to E-30 in the Exif info of my photos so I can use it in camera raw which kind of hassle to do.
So the question is, when Adobe is going to support the E-5?
Regards,

I just received my new Olympus E-5 and realize that my Photoshop Elements
9 does not support my new camera, or rather, Camera RAW 6.2 does not.
So I would also like to know when there will be a Camera RAW version that supports Olympus E-5 RAW files?
