Olympus viewer 3 workflow5/21/2023 ![]() If you don't mind me asking, what is your very first step? Do you use some kind of organizing software to import everything off the card and then a quick check to eliminate the obvious duds before going to OV3? I don't process loads of images mind (although I do a bit of commercial work and sell some) and I am very selective from what I shoot to what I want to keep so maybe that has a bearing on why I find OV3 suits me. I also have a subscription to Lightroom/Photoshop and occasionally if I want to do some further image editing that I can't achieve in OV3 I will save as TIFF from OV3 and then do manipulations on Photoshop. Also all of the in-camera modes are in OV3 too (like the art filters) should I want to play further and OV3 just seems quite logical following on from using the camera. The jpgs produced are also in-line with the in-camera jpg colours etc. What I like about OV3 is that the raw files load as per the settings that the camera had when the photo was taken and then I can tweak them from here. I prefer to get the shots right in camera and don't like to do a lot of PP. I shoot raw (plus jpg for reference) and process all the raw files in OV3. Despite all the negatives I read about software speed I don't find any problems on that count - I use an i7 laptop, 16GB RAM with a graphics card (selected in OV3 to use) and SSD for the primary disk. I use OV3 for all initial processing from raw. Is there still a case to be made for OV3 as the first step of a workflow? Or did the recentish big update of LR make it redundant? However, there is the "time cost" of learning to use them to their best. ![]() So, for me, Olympus View 3, LR and PS are all "free". I have a full Adobe CC subscription, because I use other Adobe products, like Illustrator and InDesign, for graphic design. Terry Lane posted a video recently saying Olympus Viewer 3 was good for noise reduction, and I believe that Robin Won uses/used it as well (although I see that he is also using Capture 1.
