Is there a plug-in or any plans to support .ORF Raw format?
(fingers crossed) 

[Wildcat]

Sorry...scratch that.
I just noticed there is support for this.
 
I am unable to view these in MC.

File Association is set but all I see is red + blue checkered board.

Is there anything else I should have set or may have set wrong?

MC Ver. 11.1.174

ORF support was introduced about a year ago (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=27690.0).

Usually, after making some corrections I convert ORF files to JPEG or TIFF and keep the raw files only in my archive as "digital negatives", so I have not really used ORF files with MC.

I tried it again now. I imported a few ORF images to MC. MC downloaded automatically a component (named Canon... something) and everything seems to work. (MC 11.1.178)

Thanx for the reply Alex
I jummped to ver .178 with no change

I also use my raws for archiving and convert changes to .TIFF's. But I don't keep any .JPG's

Did you download from your camera or from your drive? I just imported from my drive.

I guess I not sure I understand why MC would download something from Canon for an .ORF
Does MC need a plug-in from Olympus in order to view these? They view fine in PS

I will try downloading from my camera later and see if that changes anything.

I am quite cautious and never let any software directly access my camera. I use always files that are on a HD after I have made backups of my original images.

The "canon something module" was downloaded from JRiver. A new subfolder named "Canon RAW" appeared under the MC plugins folder. I have no idea if that folder contains support for all different raw formats or if the download was needlessly triggered.

I wonder if Olympus has changed the orf format recently. My camera is not exactly new. I have an Olympus E-20.

I agree with ya on that one. I have never connected my camera and think i will keep it that way.

The "Canon RAW" folder is present on my computer but i'm sure it's not related.

I did search around and it seems other programs have had updates for the .orf format but it wasent clear if was due to changes in the format itself.

I do have a new Olympus (E-500), Possibly you are right!

I'm just going to go back to using Olympus Master, which is fine but I would like to get things down to one program someday 

Thanks for the imput.

We'll see if we can do anything about this.  Stay tuned.

The reason it downloads the Canon RAW stuff is because I put the check for file extension in after the bit that downloads the Canon RAW stuff.  It should be harmless.  I'll try to make that better when I get a chance.

The RAW support in MC is courtesy DCRAW.  Unfortunately the version of DCRAW it is based on is about a year old.  We are looking to update how this is done.

Thanks, much appreciated!
