OLYMPUS Studio Workflow

There are various possible workflows when using OLYMPUS Studio. OLYMPUS Studio offers strong support for digital work when shooting images with a digital camera. In terms of shooting images, for example, you can connect the camera to the computer and shoot an image by pressing the shutter button on the camera, or you can shoot an image by clicking a button on the computer screen. In both cases, the image is transferred directly to the computer. There are also several methods you can use to filter through the hundreds of images you take to choose the best few. You can use selection functions to efficiently sort, compare, and divide up a thousand images at a time.
