asked how he could find out which Art Filter was nominated in the camera in a raw file and whether it could be applied in bulk to other raw files. I was puzzled by this and had to make a fresh raw file from my E-PM2 (it was handy) to verify my response. Indeed,
1. Olympus Viewer 3 does not display which Art filter was applied to the raw file.
 |
| Note that the Art Filter is not pre-selected by Olympus Viewer 3 even though the EXIF Makernotes metadata stores the info |
The name of the Art Filter is stored as text but the but the parameters of the secondary adjustments is not labelled in text, just numeric codes.
- You can find out which Art Filter was selected in the camera when you look at the EXIF of the raw file.
- You have to manually choose this Art Filter in Olympus Viewer 3 yourself.
- You have to manually choose the secondary variations yourself.
- There are two alternative workflows if you want to apply your Art Filter to other raw files,
Workflow A
- Select the Raw Development Module by clicking on the RAW icon in the toolbar.
- Choose the Art Filter manually and the secondary settings manually.
- Save the raw develop settings as an .ORS file
