Quick exposure correction and resizing of ORF files without launching heavy desktop editing software.
Converting RAW files to a lossless, widely compatible format for digital archiving and sharing.

Examples

1. Optimizing Olympus Landscape Photos for Web Sharing

Landscape Photographer
Background
A photographer took several high-contrast landscape shots on an Olympus OM-D camera in ORF format and needs to post them to a blog.
Problem
The RAW files are too large for web browsers to display, and some sky highlights are slightly blown out.
How to Use
Upload the ORF file, set the highlight recovery to 5 to restore sky details, increase saturation to 1.2 for vivid colors, and set the PNG compression level to 8.
Example Config
{"compressionLevel": "8", "saturation": 1.2, "highlight": 5}
Outcome
A vibrant, web-ready PNG image with recovered highlight details in the sky and an optimized file size.

2. Resizing RAW Studio Portraits for Client Preview

Studio Portrait Photographer
Background
A photographer needs to quickly send low-resolution previews of Olympus ORF RAW files to a client for selection.
Problem
The original ORF files are extremely large and cannot be easily emailed or viewed by the client.
How to Use
Upload the ORF file, set the output width to 1200 pixels, and adjust brightness to 1.1 to slightly brighten the studio lighting.
Example Config
{"width": "1200", "brightness": 1.1}
Outcome
A lightweight, brightened PNG preview image that is easy to email and view on any device.

FAQ

What is an ORF file?

An ORF file is a RAW image format used by Olympus digital cameras to store unprocessed image data directly from the camera sensor.

Can I resize my image during the conversion?

Yes, you can specify custom output width and height values in pixels to resize the image during conversion.

How does highlight recovery work?

The highlight recovery option reconstructs details in overexposed areas of the RAW image, with higher values applying more aggressive recovery.

Will this tool preserve my camera's metadata?

Yes, the converter automatically extracts and processes the image dimensions and metadata embedded in the ORF RAW file.

What does the PNG compression level setting do?

It controls the compression of the output PNG file from 0 (fastest, largest file size) to 9 (slowest, smallest file size) without losing image quality.
