9/20/2019 Olympus Viewer Studio
Gregm61 wrote (with my emphasis added): It's been a while since I loaded any version of Master. I think at some point Master did not allow batch processing and Viewer does have batch processing. Viewer does everything Studio does with the exception of tethered shooting and seems to be speeded up a little compared to Studio, but I am also using a faster, somewhat newer machine these days too. Viewer still does not do the same things Studio and Master never did, such as a tool to allow for the recovery of even slightly blown highlights from a RAW file. You are pretty much locked into the same thing as in-camera JPEG output with the added ability to tweek all the in-camera parameters after the shot, but no real way to improve what the camera could have done on its' own unless you convert to TIFF and do something with the file in other software.
I just spent about an hour playing with Viewer. It downloaded and runs fine on my three year old Pentium 4 machine. The post quoted above seems like a pretty accurate summary.
I have used both Studio and Master, and there is much about Viewer that is familiar. I particularly was looking for the Olympus equivalent of the 'Highlight Protection' and 'Shadow Protection' found in Nikon's bundled (free) ViewNX software. These two features allow the user to specify a numerical correction, similar to what Oly would call gradation, while simultaneously viewing 'Show Lost Highlights' or 'Show Lost Shadows.' Start with a low number, like 5, and see how many of the lost highlights (or shadows) go away.
Keep increasing it until you come to the point of diminishing returns. Usually 5 or 10 works for me so it's not a long process. When it's done I have a basis for reasonable confidence that I have done what I can do (without a lot of effort) to correct any blown highlights or lost shadows. I do this after visually checking whether the photo would benefit from adjusting exposure compensation. Viewer will display 'blinkies' showing lost shadows and lost highlights, although you view these overlaid on the image (unlike ViewNX, where they appear against a black or white background) and they are accordingly somewhat difficult to see or to judge whether they are changing as you adjust the image. Not surprisingly, the Tone Curve adjustment in Viewer's Edit menu will increase or reduce the aforementioned blinkies, but adjustments made that way are broader than needed or desired.
I'm surprised that Olympus users don't make more of a fuss about the lack of a bundled software that includes the tools to make simple adjustments while processing Raw files. In reading this forum over more than a year, it seems that every time the subject of post-processing software comes up, the Olympus users who respond seem extraordinarily accepting of the need to buy third-party software; many use Master or Studio to create a TIFF which they then drag over to some much more complex software. Or they use another software to process their Raw files and give up whatever advantages are inherent in Olympus' own software in terms of reading the camera's output accurately.
Either way, they pay extra. Don't get me wrong. Nikon users criticize ViewNX all day long. But it fills a need for what I suspect are a large number of users who are pleased to have the flexibility of shooting Raw and doing simple post-processing without having to use two separate pieces of software. I think Viewer is an improvement but not enough of one.

Advanced image editor that enables you to adjust the brightness and the contrast of your images, enhance color tones, sharpen and blur photos. Olympus Viewer 3. Version:2.2. License:Freeware. OS:Windows All. Publisher: Olympus Viewer Description 3 Olympus Viewer is a software utility developed specifically to help people view, print and edit photos from their hard drive.
The installation process does not bring any surprises, and upon completing it, you are greeted by a modern-looking and intuitive interface. This means that it can be used even by people with no prior experience with computers.
In addition to that, it consists of a folder structure, a panel in which to preview pictures, a selection box, several shortcut buttons and a menu bar. This software tool can be shown in different modes, namely the viewer and the edit ones.
The first enables you to add entire folders of images and see them as thumbnails or on the entire screen. It is possible to cut, copy, paste and rotate files, as well as upload them to social networking platforms such as Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.
Aside from that, you can set a photo as a wallpaper or access tools such as Auto-Panorama, or a resize and convert one. In the edit window, you can insert text, zoom in and out, remove red eyes, correct fisheye and flip images.
Plus, you can tweak the gamma, colors, brightness, contrast and saturation, as well as use noise reduction, distortion correction, shading compensation and sharpness tools. With this program, you can also capture images from movies, fade in and out, cut movies or merge frames. Once you are done with editing, you can save the files to the HDD in JPG, TIFF and BMP formats, while also selecting compression quality and resolution. Taking all of this into consideration, it becomes apparent that Olympus Viewer is a useful and complex piece of software for viewing, managing and editing photographs, which does not put a strain on your PC’s resources.

Can any experienced E1 users out there tell me if it's worth it or will alternative programs do the same job - or better? I think the included software with the E1 has the 'high function' RAW converter which is the only really good reason to buy studio. I bought it to use with my E300 because the included master RAW converter isn't that great. Studio does have a couple of cool 'actions' that correct distortion and light fall off (normal cos^4) of the wide lenses based on the focal length they were used at and the RAW converter also has an adjustment for 'false noise' which can be helpful. The trial is free and good for 30 days. Try it and see if you like it?
B&H has it for like $99 which isn't too bad.

(I've got Elements 3) My main reasons for purchase were the distortion-removal, and tethered shooting when the E1 is connected to my laptop. The G4 screen beats any on-camera monitor but it's only useful if you do some studio work too. Considering I wanted both these options, I think the price is fair, but If you don't need both then it's a different story of course.

It also has a 'high function' mode for developing RAW where Olympus viewer only offers the 'high speed' mode. (I don't see that much difference between those two, by the way.) Don't buy Studio just to get this. There is also a RAW-import plugin for Photoshop, don't know if it works with PSE3 but I think it will.
It's halfway down this page: This basically will bring all of the Olympus Viewer stuff into PSE3. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital Ken Birks wrote: My thanks to you both, Laurens and Stacey. On your advice I guess I don't need Studio. I've downloaded the PS plug-in but not yet checked whether it works with PSE.
If you're talking about the olympus PS plug-in and not ACR for PS CS, look at the results carefully compared to either viewer RAW or studio high function. I think they are using the high speed engine from studio in the plug-in which isn't the best of the two. What's even more confusing is in one version of viewer, the high speed RAW is the good one, in a later version it's the bad one. 8-/ - Stacey.
