I personally find that the colors represented via Lightroom’s color profiles virtually match the Olympus colors. Take a close look once you click to open the image up. In this last image you can see there is definite difference in the way Moire (or false color) is rendered on the screw threadings.
General Comparison – Naturalīlue is where the strongest difference is to my eyes between lightroom and Olympus viewer. These next two images are more of a look at the overall scene and details. The only thing done is to select the correct color profile in each software.Ĭlick on the photos if you want to see a larger version! Olympus Vivid Let’s find out! These files are all straight from the camera with no adjustments made. But do they really match? Can lightroom obtain the same color results as Olympus’ own software? If you have my Presets, then you have already seen my quick presets to activate these. In the develop module under Camera calibration is a dropdown with color profiles. Adobe releases color profiles that “match” the olympus ones. Photographers that want these colors have thought they need to use OV3 to keep these colors in the RAW environment and that Lightroom can’t match them since the Adobe color profile is very different. OV3 has all of these settings built in the raw developer. (I still recommend only RAW…) With color profiles, you can get these JPG color palettes on the raw file. JPG shooting from an olympus is great for this reason. Each manufacturer has its signature color palette, and Olympus is known for their excellent color. OV3 has something that draws most people to it though. (Yes I know lightroom has had its share of performance issues…but it works a LOT better than OV3) Most people i’ve spoken with share this experience. When I have a LOT of images to go through, it becomes a giant time-eater to work in OV3. Processing images is slow…and I have a pretty hefty workstation.
#OLYMPUS VIEWER 3 IMPORT FROM IPHONE TO PC SOFTWARE#
Layout and movement within the software is not nearly as refined in my opinion. Image editing from shot to shot is not nearly as smooth and functional as Lightroom in my opinion. In these scenarios using Olympus Viewer 3 software may be just fine. And for those situations…why use lightroom? Or why use the manufacturer’s software. A lot of people just use one system though. Having a workflow program that could handle different camera files and not require me to use different software for each was amazing. I have shot with gear from Panasonic, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony as well. I also own, or have owned gear from Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Leica, Phase One, and Hasselblad. Especially since I work in the commercial photography world, I occasionally have to shoot with gear different from my main setup.
I have always shot with various brands of cameras. By version 4 lightroom had really sorted out well into a very strong workflow system with solid raw development. I criticized it heavily up until version 3 or 4. Lightroom has been around for quite a while. As always, make your decision for you, to ensure you are getting the results you want. My color preferences may be quite different than yours. My workflow may be quite different than yours.
I want to share some images and let you decide for yourself what is right for you. Then again, using a workflow or program that can’t deliver is just as bad. Nobody wants to sacrifice quality by using a software that can’t deliver. I get a lot of questions about Lightroom and even more about Olympus Viewer 3.
