Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Ligthroom 3?

Sorry if this is a dumb newbie question but I've been searching these boards and the web for 30 minutes without a definitive answer so will finally just ask.
I'm about to get an Olympus OM-D E-M5, but I have Lightroom 3. Is this camera supported in LR 3? Will it ever be? Do I need to download a plug-in?
I'm still running XP so can't upgrade to LR 4 and don't want a new computer because I'm getting a new camera.
Thanks.

Guys, didn't mean to start an argument, but at least I know the answer to my question wasn't necessarily straightforward!
The transfer from Olympus RAW to DNG (or TIFF should I chose) will be a workable solution until I eventually get a new computer, and perhaps beyond if I'm pleased with that workflow.
That said I've spoken with four friends who use LR. Three of the four can't upgrade to LR 4 due to the XP issue, so one is left wondering if this was a good Adobe decision? One can imagine all kinds of reasons why they made this call, but it is obvious (to me) that leaves a large segment of their users unhappily SOL.
Anyway, glad to hear there is an OM-D in my near future!
Thanks much.

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • Heavily Jagged Curves/Diagonals on Olympus EP-L1 RAW Files and possibly the whole PEN Family

    Hello everybody
    I have a serious situation here. My Olympus EP-L1 raw files have serious jagged diagonals. It's only visible on sharp curved surfaces. I ran some test on straight sharp diagonals from 45º to 0º but found no artifacts. Here is a comparison between in-camera jpeg and .ORF converted to DNG in Lightroom 3.3, ACR 6.3. BTW, this is visible on .ORF files as well as DNG. I took these photos with RAW+JPEG at full resolution, highest quality.

  • Olympus E30 camera raw files and OS X Leopard

    Hi
    I recently bought an Olympus E30. I've noticed that OS X (I'm using 10.5.7) can't display a preview of the .ORF file in the Finder.
    Apple recently issued a Raw Compatibility Update for Aperture and iPhoto that included the E30. I don't use either, but thought that would also apply to OS X.
    Software update installed a "iLife Support" update on my Mac on 5 June that I thought was the Raw Compatibility Update. So I don't understand why I can't display raw file previews.
    Any ideas?

    Solved the problem. Thanks for reading.

  • Olympus E-M1 files and Lr 5.3rc

    Good to see the very bright reds have gone with Olympus E-M1 files but now there is a new problem. Skin tones (caucasian) are dreadful. Everyone looks jaundiced. Not good... not good at all. If anything this is a step backwards from where it was before. For final support for the files this needs a lot of improving before Lr 5.3 goes live.

    Quite interesting indeed. I just downloaded 5.3 and gave it a quick spin.
    It appears the Adobe Standard profile has been tweaked a little bit. I made the mistake not to export JPGs with the old profile, so I resorted to A/B-ing between the library and develop modules (using the previously generated previews for the library) to look for differences. The new profile has deeper blues and deep yellows are less orange-tinted. The skin tones seem to have shifted slightly away from yellow and are now quite acceptable.
    The 'camera' profiles are interesting, too. The 'natural' and 'vivid' modes are too contrasty for my tastes, but that mimics the Olympus style. The 'muted' and 'portrait' modes offer pleasing colours, but the saturated yellows in the 'muted' mode a bit too strong and the 'portrait' mode is a bit on the bright side. In any case, it's good to have so many options (and I still have a slight preference for the Huelight profiles).
    As a bonus, it seems that CA correction is now automatically enabled on the E-M1. I remember reading somewhere that this was coming and would use the m4/3 lens correction data, but it's not in the release notes.

  • Photoshop CS2 obsolete with an Olympus E-3

    I just received my new Olympus E-3 this week and it is a very impressive professional DSLR camera. I have to say that I am exceedingly disappointed with Adobe right now as it looks like they are no longer supporting Photoshop CS2 even though it is only one revision old. With the latest updates I can use their digital negative converter (which I wish more camera manufacturers would support) and my Photoshop Elements 5.0, including Camera RAW, works with the E-3 ORF/RAW files. Photoshop CS2 apparently has no plug-in for it, the latest Camera RAW doesn't work in it or in Bridge, and it no longer accepts new .dng files sent to it from PSE5. It is now largely useless to me as I can't used it until the photos are degraded .jpg's.
    I am on Vista, so is their anything I need to do, or is my analysis above correct? CS-2 over CS had enough to make me upgrade, CS-3 over CS-2 didn't.

    Nobody likes the fact that to get the latest raw support for the latest
    camera (without hoop jumping) you have to upgrade Photoshop. Most of don't
    think it is fair. However, there are some things to keep in mind.
    1. Each new major release of Photoshop brings massive updates to ACR. These
    updates would not be an easy or really cost effective thing to do for older
    versions of ACR.
    2. It is very likely that updates to ACR are not solely in ACR itself. I
    would imagine that some changes have to be made to Photoshop to. This means
    they couldn't update ACR to work with CS2 because CS2 is lacking things that
    would be needed. Things that are only in CS3.
    3. Even if Adobe charged $19.95 for the ACR upgrade for Photoshop CS2 if
    they couldn't bring it inline with CS3's ACR but only could add support for
    new cameras people would still complain.
    4. There is a work around, download the latest DNG converter program, it is
    free and convert your raw images to DNG. This is in my book a good thing
    anyways. Just as soon as DNG becomes and ISO standard it will be the safest
    raw format available. In other words it will be the most future proof raw
    format we will have. Once your files are converted to DNG you can then load
    them in to the ACR that comes with CS2.
    Myself, I think the mistake Adobe made was not making the camera support a
    plug-in for ACR. By doing this they could have simply updated ACR as they
    wished giving you the new version with each new version of Photoshop, but
    allowed people with the old versions to use new cameras because you would
    only have to download new profile plug-ins for new cameras. I don't see new
    cameras as being a major reason to upgrade ACR. I see the new features and
    improvements made to each new version of ACR more of an upgrade draw than
    new camera support. I think Adobe would have lost very little income by
    designing ACR to support new cameras by doing plug-ins. I would still have
    upgraded from CS2 to CS3.
    Of course there is also the new upgrade policy. Photoshop 7 is the oldest
    version you can now use to upgrade to Photoshop CS3. If you have a version
    older than 7 you have to buy the full Photoshop package, you can't upgrade.
    When Photoshop CS4 comes out then CS1 will be the oldest version you can use
    to upgrade. So sooner rather than later unless you like to buy full packages
    instead of upgrades one is going to have to upgrade anyways.
    Myself I would use the DNG converter now and then upgrade Photoshop when CS4
    comes out. I figure CS4 is less than a year away.

  • Cannot import from Olympus E-P1 in LR-3

    Hi. I have an Olympus E-P1 and a Nikon D90. Both imported picture files (JPG) without issues in LR-2 (both v2.6 and 2.7). Just upgraded to LR-3 and the Nikon exports fine but the photos on the Olympus are not recognized by the new import dialog box. I have (and had) the Olympus set to MTP mode and can work around this awkwardly by resetting to "mass storage" mode but that seems clumsy.
    My question is, of course, what changed? Am I missing something obvious? LR 2.7 was still left on the computer and I retested it with the Olympus... worked perfectly. Using the Mac version of LR-3 at 64 bits. Any suggestions would be much appreciated... Thanks! Andy

    Thanks both. Getting photos on my computer isn't really my main concern. My iMac has an SD slot but I have always imported from the cameras w/o incident and it is (much) faster and I'm not wearing out card slots. My issue is just that any camera I have had always worked with LR2 and LR1 before that. I upgrade to LR3 and there is an unexpected change. I wanted to know why. As it turns out, LR3 will import from the Olympus in Mass Storage mode as mentioned without much difficulty (although the device now has no name) so I can live with it but why for only one of the two cameras? I should be grateful since the Nikon doesn't give me a choice with respect to exporting mode and that's the camera that works as before. One more detail. When I'm in the desired MTP mode, LR3 DOES recognize the Olympus by name (my first post was misleading), just not the photos. Anyhow, thanks again for replying!

  • Olympus E500 RAW Image in Photoshop Elements 4.0

    I am trying to find out if anyone has worked with the Olympus RAW Image (.orf) in Photoshop Elements. I downloaded the plug-in from the Olympus America site and installed it into Elements. Although the plug-in said that it was for Photoshop 5.0 or higher it loaded fine. However, when I open an image in Elements the interface is very basic and does not look at all like the Elements 4.0 interface. Thus I am wondering if anyone else has tried to use the Olympus RAW image with Photoshop and found a better plug in?
    Alternatively is someone can give me some other input on how to edit these photos I would be appreciative.

    You want to ditch that Olympus plug-in - i.e., take it out of the plug-ins
    folder in Elements - and make sure you have the version of Adobe Camera Raw
    which covers your camera. Once you find that, install it in place of the
    one that shipped with Elements (probably 2.4) and your images ought to open
    directly into ACR.

  • .avi files and codecs

    Hi I posted a question yesterday about .avi and there were some helpful responses. I installed GSpot and it tells me that the CODEC for the video file is MJPG/Motion JPEG, on an Olympus Pen EPL1 digital camera, and there is no CODEC required on the audio file. It then says that the MJPG CODEC is installed on my computer, so why when I import the file into Premiere Elements 9, it plays back in very poor quality?
    Regards

    Poor playback, when the proper CODEC is installed on one's system is often due to a mis-match between the Source Files, and the Project's Preset. The biggest killer of Quality, is when the Frame Size of the Project does not match the Frame Size of the Source Files, and Scaling is done, with Scale to Default Frame Size checked.
    The next most common cause of a lack in quality is the specific CODEC itself. For MJPEG, there are two highly popular CODEC's, Morgan and MainConcept. While there are others, those two are highly recommended by many users. Many cameras, that shoot in MJPEG will also ship with the mfgr's. version of the MJPEG CODEC. As that mfgr. might well have tweaked things a bit, if one does have a utility/driver disc, I would strongly recommend installing their version of MJPEG. This might be installed along wiith the driver for the camera, as part of an editing/organizing program, or maybe as a separate install. It will just depend on the camera, and might even vary, model to model. This ARTICLE will give more background, and also some potentially useful links.
    Let's go back to the first paragraph. When you ran your Source Files through G-Spot, what were the Frame Size and PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) listed?
    How do those figures match up with your Project Preset, chosen with New Project? A mis-match here can have a very negative effect on quality. If one has Scale to Default Frame Size checked, and the Source Footage is smaller, than the Project's Frame Size, the user will not see that the program has Scaled UP the Clip(s) to match. If Scale to Default Frame Size is unchecked, then the user would see black bars around all, or parts of the Frame, with the Clip displayed smaller in the Frame.
    While PrE can Scale footage UP, or DOWN, its algorithms are not the best and quality will suffer. A little bit of Scaling might go unnoticed, but if one had, say SD 720 x 480 material, in an HD 1920 x 1080 Project, then quality would go down dramatically.
    One thing to consider is that if there is a mis-match, there will be a red line over the Clip(s). This shows that for the best, smoothest playback, that footage needs to be Rendered. One would press Enter to Render that Timeline. The Render could be limited to just a segment of the Timeline by using the WAB (Work Area Bar). This produces proxy files, that will give the best possible playback. This ARTICLE will give more background on Rendering. While the Program Monitor in the program, on a high-rez computer monitor is not the best viewing situation for SD material (an NTSC, or PAL, calibrated CRT monitor is the best, but those are very expensive, and the NLE program needs to support them), one can get fairly close by adjusting the Magnification (Rt-click on the Program Monitor) to 100% from Fit. To see the entire Frame, it might be necessary to adjust the Program Monitor's Panel.
    As you can see, there are several things that can affect quality. If you will give us info on your Source Footage, your Project's Preset and also which version of the MJPEG CODEC, someone will be able to direct you.
    Good luck, and thanks for the info.

  • Camera Raw Not Parsing Some Olympus EM-5 ORF (RAW) Files

    I'm using Adobe Camera Raw on my Olympus EM-5 ORF files and several come back that they cannot be parsed.  My last card had over 20 files that said the RAW could not be parsed (out of ~500 photos).  Is anything being done to fix this or is it not acknowledged as an issue?  I've updated everything to the latest.  I've tried clearing the cache and other ideas to no avail.

  • 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.

  • 10.9.5 with camera raw 5.07 not showing .RW2 and DNG but showing .CR2 previews in finder

    Even with the latest OS and latest camera raw, only my Canon raw image files display proper previews in the finder, and open properly with iPhoto and Photoshop.  .RW2 and .DNG files will not show previews or open with iPhoto, and .RW2 files won't even open in Photoshop without being converted to DNG.  I've combed the support community questions for over a year now, am tech support oriented, and am ready to throw in the towel.  I've had this same problem with previous system versions and camera raw versions, so I know the solution lies with neither of the two. 

    I'm having exactly the same issue and I posted on Adobe's site and dpreview and StackExchange but nobody has the final answer. I can see thumbnail previews in finder with ALL my various Raw files (Olympus OMD EM1, Panasonic GH2 and GH3, and Nikon D5300) just fine but when I use the convert to DNG feature in Lightroom (latest version since I'm on the CC subscription), only the Nikon DNG files display a preview thumb in finder and neither the Oly or Panny DNG files display. The closest I got to an explanation is that, since the m4/3 cameras do their profiling in camera and Adobe doesn't have a profile for them, some of the info isn't converted into the DNG in those systems. The article I read about it was really about Aperture not being able to read the Adobe DNG files but it may also explain why Mac finder can't show preview thumbs.  Aperture 3: Some DNG images display as unsupported - Apple Support
    If there is no way to get preview thumbs in finder with the converted RAW files from my GH3 then I'll forgo converting for now.
    Here is my Nikon DNG
    And my Panny DNG (Oly is the same)
    Panny RAW shows up just fine
    As does the Oly ORF

  • E-P1 ORFs getting cropped in Bridge and Camera RAW

    I shot some images with Olympus E-P1 (RAW + JPG) and used some custom aspect ratios (6:6, 16:9) in the camera. I do expect the JPGs to inherit this aspect ratio but shouldn't the RAW image always be 4:3? Is there some setting that I need to turn on in Adobe Bridge/RAW that will show me the 4:3 RAW image irrespective of what aspect ratio I choose in the camera? Just for comparison, Olympus Master (their RAW converter) shows the RAW images in 4:3 format.

    fixed it with this work around

  • Print problem with iPhoto and P-10

    I downloaded the correct driver for my Olympus P-10 digital printer, and iPhoto recognizes it. The printer prints fine directly from the camera, however, when I try to print an edited photo from iPhoto 5.0.4, the full image does not print. A portion of it does, depending upon what constraints I have set in the edit process. I've tried multiple configurations of restraints to no avail. So far, the closest acceptable print is to set the layout to "N-up" which essentially prints four 4X6 photos to a page, but even that is not as good as it should be. What am I doing wrong in iPhoto?
    Thanks in advance.
