Olympus Studio 1.3 Instruction Manual

RAW Development

RAW data is developed and processed and the results are saved in an image file.
Only RAW (*.orf) files are affected. Multiple RAW data can also be processed at the
same time.
RAW data is unprocessed data to which white balance, sharpness, contrast, color
conversion, and other development processes have not been applied.

When only RAW data taken with an Olympus E-1 digital camera is selected, RAW
development that supports the camera’s settings can be selected. Selecting this
option switches the [RAW Development] dialog box to display the appropriate
settings.
If RAW data from cameras other than the E-1 is included in the selection, the [RAW
Development] (advanced settings) dialog box is not displayed.
