| | p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · EM1X Mac .orf support in Photos app? |
Has anyone else had any problems with the Mac Photos app and Olympus RAW .orf files? I've had no problems with these files from my EM1 or EM1 Mark II. My guess is that there must be some subtle differences and this will eventually be supported natively, but for now I'll just have to use Olympus Viewer or ON1.

E-M1X RAW files - ORF - are not yet supported by Mac OSX. At some point Apple will add RAW support for the E-1MX and other new cameras recently released. When? Who knows. I currently have Mojave 10.14.3 on my Mac system which, in Photos, does not support E-M1X raw. However, I also have Lightroom Classic (subscription - including Adobe Camera Raw) which does support the raw files as, of course, the new Olympus Workspace software. Some software vendors are slower than others to issue raw support for new cameras. Capture One Pro (I have version 12) does not yet support the E-M1X raw files - Capture One is always slow to issue new camera raw support. For now, your only choice is Olympus Viewer or something else. I am not familiar with ON1.

Thanks for the detailed response. I guess I don't understand the file system/standards enough. To me an ORF file should be an ORF file whether it comes from an EM5 or an EM1X. I did convert the files with Olympus software and so the moral of the story for me now is to shoot RAW+JPEG and keep both images. I had gotten away from keeping a JPEG because the RAW images just popped up in Photos.

I understand where you're coming from. I am no computer expert; someone may offer an explanation here. Each camera's raw file has something different about it compared to the same manufacturer's raw file from a different model. What the difference is I do not know. WIth that said, some folks have actually 'hacked' raw files somehow - something in the EXIF - to fool software in thinking it is a different (older and thus raw supported) camera. I have no clue how that's done and if it really works.
Your best option is to continue to shoot raw +jpeg so that when the day comes that you EM1X is supported by Apple Photos, you'll be ready to go. Or, use other software that currently supports EM1X raw ORFs.
