thank you for these useful links, good stuff!
Thanks, admin!
I wonder what has changed and what’s more important what with pictures processed in LR 5.2. Will those looks the same in LR 5.3 ?
No the E-M1 photos do not look the same. The mad bright reds have been sorted but caucasian skin tones so far look dreadful especially the lower the white balance setting is.
Please give your feedback on the community forums for Adobe Raw. Adobe has delayed releases from past user feedback. Need to complain to get it right.
It seems like Adobe has adjusted colors slightly from the previous ACR which had “preliminary” support for E-m1, the new version is “full” support, but it’s still just RC so minor changes are still possible.
What about ACR for CS5 (v5.1 to v5.5)?
Will this support be released for version >= CS6 only?
No, there will be no update CS 5. This is how they get you to upgrade.
Erik,
“DNG Converter is available for free for users of older versions of Photoshop. ”
Not sure if that gets you anything. It might if it converts the e-m1 raw to DNG and applies upgraded profiles.
I use Lightroom, have installed the new version but have not worked a lot yet with my E-M1 images.
Hello,
I’m the only one to spot a major problem with the color rendition in the E-M1 RAW files using this version of ACR?
Please take the time to compare some studio shot from Imaging Resource, E-M1 color are really off if compared with other cameras. Major problems with reds and oranges, but all is looking not so good. Try to compare E-M5, GM1 and some other like D610, A7 and so on: the E-M1 colors are always not there…
I think Adobe should really fix this in the official release.
Yes you are completely correct. Caucasian skin tones are dreadful. Asian skin tones seem to be better. I have tried the Imaging Resource files already and as you say they are horrible colours. I tried the DPR test chart photos as well. Even worse on the tungsten photos. It seems that the lower the white balance the worse the problem gets. I have already reported it on Lightrooms forums but we need as many people as possible to do the same before the final 5.3 comes out. Cannot understand how they managed to get it so wrong without noticing.
I agree that Adobe needs to fix it if it is as bad as you say. Can you post photos of .orf files processed with the exact same settings on 5.2 and 5.3? I’m not sure if you have Colorchecker Passport, if you do, does it save the custom profiles? 5.2 does not recognize them, so I am curious about this and if there is any difference with noise reduction.
Hello,
I have an E-M5 and I have a blind trust in the RAW file of Imaging Resource. From several years I regularly use their “still life” studio scene (and the “indoor portrait” one) in order to do my own camera evaluations/comparisons and I have always found that the results are consistent and reliable. The “still life” scene includes a mini-MacBeth chart useful for color and White Balance check.
I confirm that, in my opinion, in this case something is clearly wrong in the ACR profile of the E-M1:
just look at the really unnatural color of the red roses in the “indoor portrait” or at the famous red swatch in the “still life” studio shot, not to mention the various colored threads in the upper right portion of the scene.
The E-M1 “still life” ISO 200 RAW file is located here: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/olympus-e-m1/EM1hSLI00200NR2D.ORF.HTM
The E-M5 “still life” ISO 200 RAW file is located here: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/omd-em5/EM5hSLI00200NR2D.ORF.HTM
Please, try to download the .ORF files and compare, you will then easily see what I mean, and, being RAW, this is not something you can change too much modifying some in-camera settings.
In the same way you can then download whatever other similar RAW file for any different brand of camera you like (I have done it for Panasonic GM1/GX7, Sony A7/A7r, Nikon D800/D610, Canon 5DmkIII and Pentax K3) and probably you will end in agreement that the E-M1 colors rendition in this ACR version is clearly flawed.
I think that this is something that should be urgently reported to Adobe, but, please, let me know your opinion.
Ciao 🙂
You need to notify Adobe about this ASAP. Good observation.
I guess having a link to Adobe would be helpful.
