Olympus Raw files

Need Help. I've purchased a new Olympus E 620 camera and have the Ps /Cs3 design suite, now 18months old . I am unable to import camera raw images via bridge or directly into Ps 3 using any of the camera Raw 5.4 or DNG plug-ins. Can I purchase an upgrade for Cs3 to Cs4 for Ps only that will work within Cs3. I am becoming very tired of paying big dollars for very recent programmes that will not work with the latest technology. Will this fix the problem . Thank you for any thoughts and help available

Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

Can Olympus RAW files open in Lightroom mobile?

As I understand it, but I have not tried LR Mobile, you have to have the raw files on a real computer and then sync the smart previews from LR desktop to the iPad. I am still trying to get my head around a real use case for a non professional enthuasist photographer.

*Need Immediate Help*: Aperture Olympus Raw Files

I need help, is there a way to open Olympus Raw Files (.orf) in Aperture? I really need to get my camera's raw photos working!
-Thanks

There are a number of cameras that either were once supported by iPhoto or Aperture and now are not, or that are not supported yet. Apple support declined to provide a list of cameras iPhoto and Aperture were compatible with.
If you use a Canon Digital Rebel, you'll be okay. Otherwise test the software with your camera before buying one or the other.
If all else fails, Adobe Lightroom will, as far as I know, open any RAW image from any camera once it's converted to DNG-RAW with the free DNG converter. So, if you can't get RAW to work with Aperture or iPhoto, there is an alternative.
iPhoto and Aperture are the only photo apps I've tried that will not import RAW of any kind from my Nikon 5700. Apple support had no fix.
If anyone has one, I'd love to hear it.

Olympus RAW Files Preview Problems

Hi,
I have started using Lightroom as my photo editor and organiser and have taken on board the advice to convert RAW files to DNG. Unfortunately I have discovered that Finder (I operate an IMac, Mavericks 10.9.2) will not preview these DNG files. I use an Olympus EM1 and have been reliably informed that Apple does not support Olympus RAW files converted to DNG, but they do support Canon and Nikon. I would appreciate everyone's support in trying to get Apple to recognise Olympus and I would be grateful if you would take a few minutes of your time to copy the following few sentences and post them onto the Apple Feedback web page, which I have also provided. Thanks in anticipation.....
"Hello,
I use an Olympus camera and convert the RAW (ORF) files to DNG in Lightroom. Unfortunately Finder preview does not preview these files, although I believe that Canon and Nikon camera files are previewed. Would it possible for Apple to enable previews in Finder of Olympus RAW files converted to DNG?
Thanks."

In PSE 11, have you checked whether you have the latest plugin for your camera? If not then it is not a bad idea to do it now by going to:
Help >> Updates
You may also want to check if the files are saved in your default location normally "MyPictures" in XP or in Libraries >> Pictures in Windows 7 machine. See this picture:
Hope this helps if not please post back explaining clearly what do you see on the screen.
Good luck.

Olympus RAW files in Elements 9 and 11

Can I update elements 11 to import olympus RAW files from my new OM-D M5 mk 2?

I have bought a new Olympus OMD E-M mark 2. Great, but my copy of Elements 11 won't import its RAW files. I have tried to instal RAW 6.4.1 and RAW 7.1 patches but the installer just says it's the wrong version even though I downloaded from a Elements page. I've just re-installed the Application Manager and that didn't help. Please can you help me find the right patch and get it working?
Thanks

No you can't update PSE11. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Using Olympus Raw files on CS2

I have Photoshop CS2 and a brand new Olympus E-PL5. How do I view the RAW files in CS2? I've tried using DNG converter 7.3, but it still gives me an error when I try to open either the ORF or DNG filetype. Also, the Camera Raw plugin says 3.7 currently in the Help menu... is this what is screwing me up? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
What operating system are you using?
Were you able to convert the olympus E-PL5 files to dng with the 7.3 dng converter?
Did you try placing a shortcut to the 7.3 dng converter on your desktop and just dragging one of your E-PL5 files onto the shortcut
to see if it works?
Photoshop cs2 only goes to camera raw 3.7, but should open converted dng files.
Although sometimes one has to use the compatibilty settings in the dng converter for the particular camera raw plugin one has.

Importing ORF (Olympus Raw Files)

I've just purchased an Olympus SP-550UZ and although the ORF show in preview they grey out and dont import when import is hit. JPG are fine any ideas?

On a separate question in a 4/3 digital camera forum I was directed to this link regarding importing files into Aperture if you're shooting 'raw + jpeg'. If this is your case apparently Aperture will only load the jpegs and ignores the raw files. There is a fix however and it is explained on this link. I have found that support regarding Aperture is better on the digital camera forums rather than here. I have posted several queries here with no replies so good luck.
http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/?p=408
You may have to try the link several times and when you get there I believe this link is out of a page of the complete digital photography book the website owner has so you get some 'link crossover garbage' at the top of the screen but you'll be able to see the fix for this problem. If in fact you're not shooting raw+jpeg then I'm not sure what the fix would be. Good luck though!
My issue resides in the fact that Aperture doesn't support the E510 for raw files yet and it's very frustrating since I just ordered my iMac 2.4 also. The cutting edge manufacturer of hardware for photo and video editing, two of their specialty fields, apparently is very slow on the upkeep of their software to support the cutting edge hardware that interfaces. Go figure. Still I think over the long haul it's the right platform.

PSE 10 won't import Olympus RAW files

PSE 10 won't recognize Olympus .orf files

What model camera? What version of the Camera Raw plug-in do you have installed?

I cannot get LR5 to recognize olympus RAW files on my Macbook Air

but it works perfectly on my iMac. HELP????

OK kids - here's the scoop. Not sure why but......it wasn't what DJ thought and I uninstalled and reinstalled ya da da....when I created a new user account on my mac - worked the way it always has. (and as an aside, this was pretty vexing because it worked perfectly on: iMac, other Macbook Air - all running same code.....same OS.....made me insane!
Thank you one and all for your suggestions and contribution to my return to sanity!

DNG and Olympus XZ-2 ORF raw files

Not sure why this is not working. Using the stand alone DNG converter I select the folder with the ORF files (Olympus raw files) but DNG is not seeing them. It's like they are not there. I know they are there. I am using DNG 8.3. Is it possible this version is not yet supporting these files? Help!!! Thank you. My Olympus camera is a Stylus XZ-2

I am using DNG 8.3. Is it possible this version is not yet supporting these files?
Correct.
Refer to the following tables to see which cameras are supported. If a camera is not listed then it's not supported.

https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/02/camera-raw-8-4-rc-and-dng-converter-8-4-r c-now-available.html
Both indicate that the Olympus XZ-2 is not yet supported in Camera Raw up to and including the pre-release version 8.4.

Reading Raw files in CS4

I am trying to open Olympus raw files in CS4 and it keeps telling me that it is the wrong type of file. I have downloaded and installed DNG converter and the PS updater and STILL the program won't open Oly raw files (Tells me it's the wrong kind of file). What DO I DO to make this work? I am anxious to work in raw, but so far have been unable to figure out how!!
HELP!
Beth

The DNG converter is a stand-alone program and does't have to "go" anywhere special.
What model of camera do you have?

Aperture confuses orf and nef and avi raw files. Suggestions on what to do?

Just used a new Olympus E-M5 in Italy and Germany, after many years of using Nikon products, most recently a D700 with fast glass. I have also used Aperture from version 1.0. Olympus RAW file format is .ORF. As I have uploaded the images into Aperture from the SD cards, I have just found that on one card about 100 files are mis-identified in Aperture's import window as either .NEF or .AVI files, rather than the .ORF files that they are. They are identified as .ORF files on the card itself.
I have not yet imported them and wondered if anyone has any thoughts about the wisdom of: (1) uploading them as they are, as the images seem to be fine; (2) batch changing the file extension to .ORF once they have been imported; (3) trying some variant of drag and drop, or moving the files to a new folder and importing from there; (4) something totally different and better.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. For those of you tired of tugging around big bodies and fast (and heavy) glass, the move to the E-M5 has been wonderful. Great Zeiss and Leica lenses are available (and much lighter!) and the images are magnificent, though smaller, in the 4/3 format.

How are you imorting from your Olympus? Directly from the camera or from a card reader? With some cameras the results can be different, if imported directly from the camea. If possible, use a card reader.
My D700 used compact flash, so this SD card has never been in a Nikon camera;
That is not what I meant - I thought that maybe this particular card has a corrupted filesystem and needs reformatting. Can you check with a different card, if all is o.k. for newer photos?
Do you have any thoughts about changing the file extension from .NEF to .ORF?
If it are truely .ORF files, it should not matter, how you call the file. But you need to do it before importing to Aperture. Afterwards renaming may cause Aperture to lose the connection between master and version.
I just made the following test: I renamed a Canon raw file (".CR2") to Nikon raw (".NEF") in the Finder and reimported the renamed file. In spite of the misleading ,NEF extension, Aperture recognized the file by its attributes as a Canon Raw, as this screenshot ist showing, because of the EXIF, also when I renamed the file to "-ORF"- And the "Raw Fine Tuning" brick shows clearly, that independent of the file name extension the correct raw develepment, that for the Canon EOS will be used.
But the Finder will show the "Kind" of the "NEF" file as "Nikon Electronic Format". So if it bothers you, rename the file.
Have you by any chance set a file renaming preset in the "Import" panel? HAve a look at the "Rename Files" brick in the "Import" panel and check the preset, that is used by going to "Edit".
Regards
Léonie

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.
