I think it's a truer representation of what I was actually seeing when I took the photograph. I happen to prefer the way OV3 renders the colour from the RAW file. With most settings dialed down to their lowest (-2) in Olympus Viewer 3, Lightroom CC and OV3 Tiffs are very close - except for their colour rendition. And it's the above sunset shot comparison that is still the most telling (for me at least). Lightroom CC on right, Olympus Viewer 3 on left.īut at the end of the day, it's still the colour rendition from OV3 that stands out the most. I like to think that it's the later of the two? Noise is still cleaner compared to Lightroom CC's conversion, so either Olympus are ramping up Noise Reduction regardless of what you set as the user - or they really do have the secret to their own 'special sauce' contained within the. The other difference that still remains between the two is the noise - or at least the lack of it in the Olympus Viewer 3 generated Tiff. Once again, it looks slightly 'truer' to my eyes. But I have to say that I still prefer the Olympus colour rendition. Contrast and Saturation are also now about the same. In fact, I'd say that now the Lightroom Tiff is maybe just a 'hair' sharper - maybe. So what's the verdict now? Well, on the sharpness front, things have definitely evened out by setting OV3 to -2 Sharpness. Lightroom CC on right, Olympus Viewer 3 on the left. So I decided to repeat the comparison, but this time I dialed in -2 Sharpness, -2 Contrast, -2 Saturation, and set the Noise Reduction to 'OFF' (from 'As Shot' - even though NR in the camera is, in fact, set to 'OFF'). orf RAW file, even at the '0' or Off settings.
#Using olympus viewer 3 software
It would appear that the software developers for OV3 want to make sure you get these same results when outputting from an. Olympus's jpegs are praised by many as being some of the best out-of-camera jpegs in the industry. It appears that Olympus are applying a decent amount of sharpening and noise reduction to the file once it's output - even if the software settings are all set to '0' or Off. Since my last post on the comparison between Olympus Viewer 3 and Lightroom CC, I've done a little more research into OV3 (Olympus Viewer 3).
