Studio / Master Update to include Art Filters

4/3 Technologies

By tspore at 06/20/2009 - 22:20

Olympus Studio / Master with Art filter, and I Image processor V support.
I assume that it will be made avalible within a couple weeks, but for now you can download from here, please download the correct version, and unzip the file before using. :D For OSX the Master version is 2.2 and Studio version 2.3.
Oops ran out of bandwidth, so if you missed it, wait for Olympus to officially release it.
In addition to the new camera support, on OSX Studio seems much more stable.

Tony,

thanks so much for this! Studio is still slow, but at least now I can actually use it without wanting to kill myself......and it does seem more stable (so far).

the filters work perfectly, although some are pretty slow.

if you have a chance to provide some feedback, one thing I have asked for (and been told 'thanks but we have no plans to do this') is the ability to adjust gradation amount.

'auto' gradation in jpg shooting seems to be about the correct amount - useful but still very natural...... while images shot in raw with gradation on and developed in studio are much too strong - the images come out looking like some type of funky HDR was applied. Olympus Japan recently confirmed this was true for me, since I had been worried that it was a bug in the mac version of studio.

I think it limits the potentially useful gradation feature to jpg shooters only, which is kind of odd.

the 'auto tone' function in Studio for editing jpgs allows you to manually adjust the amount of 'auto toning' -- it seems like it would be easy to provide that same type of ability to adjust gradation for raw images. that would be so useful, as the auto toning feature is really quite good, I think.

maybe they will listen to you......

Everyone knows that Studio is slow, but for me, it's not too slow that I would wan to kill myself, LOL! In fact, it the only developer that I use since I don't like the output of other developers no matter how much I try to fiddle the settings.

I have the PC version of Studio, but I see the same strong 'auto-gradation' effects in RAW development.

Live well & prosper!

Now that's a big file to download. 28 minutes on high speed cable.

Thank you Tony for this.

I will try to get with some guys on Studio this year, let's wait for this E-P1 Hysteria calms a bit, and all.

No problem, It took me a couple hours to upload both the files, the Windows one in particular is quite Hefty.

Tony, is that beta version?

by BL3 on Mon, 06/22/2009 - 17:16

Tony: Thanks for finding this, but...today I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it, and ran the install function which erased the original Studio 2 file and then crashed, leaving me with nothing. At least I won't have to worry about how slow Studio runs anymore--I can't find it anywhere on my computer anymore. Of course, the new version won't install because it can't find the old version either. I was running out of space on my hard drive anyway.

Are the filters in adjustable in the desktop app? That is one thing I wish I could do with the in camera filters - adjust their parameters.

Nope. Similar to how they are applied in camera.

Dumb question but will the art filters and gradation work with files from my E330 and hopefully the L1

No its not a dumb question, but no. It is somehow tied to version info. For example, I just tried a E-1 file, and things like the gradation doesn't work neither do the art filters. I also doubt that L1 files would work either. Also E-3 files will not work with Art filters, but they would with Gradation, etc.
