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.
