VideoPic Blog: OM Workspace, RAW+, and the Color Creator

Last Updated: 30th May 2026

I uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel about OM Workspace, the Enhanced RAW Format, and the Color Creator. As a practical example, I decided to illustrate the color creator with enhanced raw (RAW+) conversions. The goal is 7 raw conversions photographers can use as examples.

I used the following cameras and lenses:

- Olympus E-M1 III

- OM System OM-5

- M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 lens

- M.Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 lens

- M.Zuiko 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens

Finally, one of the editing examples includes the Olympus Gradation function. I used the AUTO option to rebalance the highlight and shadow ratios with different exposure and tonal ratios.

What to expect from my next video...

Inspiration is a common challenge for photographers. It's interesting to listen to artists talking about the events or life-changing moments that inspired them to take on a new challenge. New technologies or products are often an inspiring experience. In my next video, I am discussing how my articles and photography became an inspiration on my journey with Olympus and OM System cameras.

One of the aspects guiding my journey with cameras like the Pen F, the Pen E-P7, and the OM-3 is OM Workspace, the enhanced raw format, and film stock examples such as Kodachrome 25 or Portra 400. The Kodachrome 200 film from 1986 to 2007 inspired the profile I created for these 12 photos. I will discuss the technique I used to recreate my favorite Kodachrome 200 colors in the next video. Those with older cameras like the E-M1 and E-M5 II can use the same profile with the RAW+ format...

Tip: The TruePic VIII (E-M1 II, E-M5 III, and E-M10 III & IV) is great for Workspace (tonal and color focussed) raw conversions...
