In order to avoid such issues and move away from Lightroom’s horrid performance, I have completely moved my image culling process to FastRawViewer. On top of that, if one has particular color, sharpness and other settings set on their camera, those settings could seriously impact JPEG previews and lie about what’s actually contained within the RAW file. In addition, looking at the embedded JPEG previews from the camera is far from ideal due to the fact that JPEG images do not contain enough information to be able to judge underexposure and overexposure. Although Adobe updated Lightroom CC to be able to fetch embedded JPEG previews from RAW files for the sole purpose of speeding up image culling, the process is still painfully slow when going through many images. As you might already know, Lightroom is extremely slow when it comes to image culling. Big disadvantage for me.Įxiftool -AspectRatio="4:3" -AspectFrame="0 0 4607 3455". They actually crop the raw file at the selected aspect ratio. Also note that this is completely impossible with Panasonic cameras. This is the only reason I am thinking to replace the EM-5 with an EM-10. You can use Olympus raw converter for EM-5 if you want to restore the full 4:3 raw capture or some other program. This convenience in LR is available only for newer Olympus cameras (e.g. Lightroom (5.7) doesn't allow to retrieve the EM-5 full raw image shot with a different aspect ratio. I'll try to delete the picture and import it once again. Maybe the changes in the preferences has to be done before the import. At least it does not work if the file is already uploaded in lightroom. I usually only go to OV3 when I decide shooting in 3:2, 16:9, or 1:1 was a mistake for a particular photo. I just prefer using Lightroom because of the workflow advantages. OV3 also lets you apply all of the art filters and various Olympus color/contrast settings. This is the main reason I keep Olympus Viewer 3 around. There is no way to remove this and go back to the original uncropped 4:3 RAW file in LR4. ORF and displays the RAW file cropped to that aspect ratio. I'm still using LR 4, but the way it works is that LR reads the aspect ratio information on the. Can LR 5 do this as well when it comes to. This is true, and the free Olympus Viewer 3 will let you toggle between any of the aspect ratios on a RAW file. This is what can be read form the olympus em5 manual: "JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio RAW images, however, are not cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio." As far as I have understood, the raw file should be in the native 4/3 format and the jpeg file with the selected 16:9 ratio. The final image should be with a 16:9 aspect ratio so I have set the camera with the ratio in order to visualize the final framing. I have just had a photo session where I have been shooting raw + jpeg with my Em5. Tick "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". In Lightroom, Edit, Preferences, General Tab. If I do not find a way, I will indeed go to an other raw converter as you suggested. I just need to figure out how to retrieve it in lightroom. It is good to know that the 4:3 image is not lost. Try a different Raw converter, such as the one that came with the camera (never bothered to install it myself, I only use Lightroom), as it may give decent Raw editing capabilities with the original image. ORF files, shows the original, 4:3 image, meaning it isn't lost. However, the built-in Photos app in Windows 8.1, which reads the E-M5's. Maybe there's a setting somewhere in the preferences to allow that. Indeed, Lightroom seems to respect the choice in-camera and crop the image to the aspect ratio you set in the camera, and does not let you "crop out" and get the original 4:3 image. So I do I retrieve the native 4/3 raw file? I have also tried to change the aspect ratio in the development module but all I get is a crop of the 16:9 with different aspect ratios. orf raw file that I am modifying and not the jpeg. When importing in lightroom 5, I find myself unable to retrieve the native 4/3 file and I can only work with a 16:9 cropped raw file. The final image should be with a 16:9 aspect ratio so I have set the camera with the ratio in order to visualize the final framing.
