![]() Its taken me over 8 years and many thousands spent to learn this lesson - hence my change from DSLRs to compacts and the HS10 which are excellent cameras but don't have the kudos (or weight or price) of a DSLR!Īlso Irfanview (free download) will open and manipulate RAF form the HS10. I have become convinced that the hype surrounding RAW files and DSLRs for that matter is largely a ploy on behalf of the camera manufacturers helped by all the photographic press to persuade us to constantly buy the latest software or the latest DSLR even though we usually have a perfectly good method of creating excellent photos. Otherwise try converting to tiff and forget raw - you may be surprised at the results! Gave up on Photoshop years ago (I'm still on PS 6.0 which does everything I want it to!) Making Adobe camera raw only compatible with the latest version of photoshop is nothing short of sharp practise by Adobe and they should be ashamed! The free standing raw converter (free download?) to DNG standard raw files may solve your problem. Use this for my HDR conversion very successfully. I either convert to tiff in PS or use Raw Therapee which will handle both jpeg and tiff. I have found that with most Fuji cameras the quality of the jpeg files is sufficient to use these direct. Of course this also means that I can't use the ACR update with my version of Lightroom either.Īnother RAW converter worth looking at is 'Raw Therapee' which I have used for years with many RAW formats. Something to be aware of, the update to Adobe Camera Raw will not work with CS3 and as I'm reluctant (and also financially unable) to upgrade any further in the Photoshop family, I'm stuck with the raw file convertor that came with the camera software. I've downloaded and tried it and can confirm the HS10 RAF files are now opening fine with photoshop and lightroom. This morning I got a notification that there was an update to Adobe Camera Raw, I checked and this one supports the HS10! Ĭorel Paintshop Pro X3 now supports HS10 raw files with it's latest patch. Neilwheel that I'm aware of as far as I can make out, its a one-man project. ( ) which will handle RAF files very well, but unfortunately it strips out the EXIF data during conversion.Īnother converter I found is XNView which is fairly basic but will convert your RAF files for editing in a full-function editor like Lightroom, Corel or Photoshop, while preserving EXIF. I found a program called AVS Image Converter Oloneo is mainly an HDR app, but also processes HS10. Things have improved a little on this - there's Scarab Darkroom, and Oloneo Photoengine. The only thing that will open them at the moment is the Silkypix software that came on the disc with the camera. Given that this is a newish feature of Olympus cameras I can understand that XnView does not support this file (I understand that the file is normal, it is just the extension that is not).I want to have a fiddle editing RAW files as I think there is more flexibility with the effects you can achieve.īut I can`t open the files once transfered to my PC (running Vista Home Premium). XnView now displays the file but not the thumbnail (at least, it uses what appears to be a default image). I can force the display of the ori by adding 'ori' in to the include line. XnView does not display the ori files when Settings, Custom, Images is ticked. The first image of the eight is also saved as an ori file. Both file sizes are much larger than a regular file of that type. The combined raw is written as an orf file and if raw+jpeg is enabled, a highres jpeg is also written - XnView lists both of these in the browser and displays a thumbnail. The process writes three files to the camera's card: It then combines the eight images into one raw / jpeg and creates a raw file that has higher resolution than a standard raw. ![]() The highres mode takes eight images using Image Stabilisation technology, it moves the sensor by less than a pixel between each of the exposure. Some Olympus cameras can take high resolution images.
