How to create color profiles with ART filters

Last updated:- 12th July 2025

It's pleasing to see the enthusiasm for creative color, ART filters, and profiles among photographers using the Pen F, E-P7, and OM-3. I've never seen such a surge of positive feedback about Olympus ART filters and the various Olympus color options as I have in the past six months. It's remarkable to think that Olympus first introduced ART filters with the E-30 in 2008. The Pen F subsequently became a sought-after camera for creative and street photographers. By 2025, the E-P7, Workspace, and the Ol.share app are likely to be seen as a great choice for hobby and creative photographers.



I had never thought of Olympus ART filters as a way to craft distinctive and vibrant profiles. While I was aware of the enhancements added to the E-P7, I overlooked the extra flexibility that comes with adjusting ART filters, both in-camera and with Workspace. The more I explore Olympus cameras and Workspace, the more I appreciate the incredible capabilities of these amazing M43 products.

See this article for more about the exposure mix and tonal adjustments.

See this article for about Workspace.



If you've been visiting my blog for a while, you know that I encourage photographers to develop their own profiles. Workspace is crucial for learning more about color, ART filters, the Color Creator, and how to create profiles at the scene. The camera display is just too small for meaningful adjustments. It's much simpler to apply your editing experience directly to the camera while shooting.

While I enjoyed Photoshop, I cancelled my subscription because the renewal was just too expensive. I tried a number of editing software options in an effort to replace Photoshop. I decided to get and focus on Affinity Photo 2 in the future. While evaluating other editing options, I was lost in all the profiles, LUTs, presets, and whatever AI options developers have on offer. I can do everything I need with Workspace, and like Photoshop, Affinity Photo offers that little extra.

Every ART filter used in this article has been edited with Workspace. Olympus and OM System owners have limitless options for adjusting these ART filters while expressing their creativity.
