![]() I think that is the one, but I can't watch it to make sure. I suppose you are talking about this video? 117 months ago Unfortunately, that video doesn't seem to be available anymore. There was a youtube video in which a pro compares the default output of Olympus Viewer to the output of Lightroom, and is surprised at the better quality of the default Viewer output. Olympus Viewer displays the JPG image, even if you shot in raw. Lightroom displays the bare raw image unless you shot specifically in JPG. Indeed, a number of settings in olympus viewer are "as shot", I will check again with some options turned off. Yeah, doesn't Olympus Viewer take camera settings into account when displaying the image? Could it be possible it applies it in OV3, and not in Lightroom? What iso was the photo taken at? It appears that there is definitely some noise reduction being done on the left photo. Is there noise reduction happening automatically when you upload to olympus viewer? On your camera, you can set a noise reduction value in your menus. How do they look at sizes close to those that you'd intend to use the photo at? It's noisier, that's for sure, but the Olympus Viewer one seems mushier to me and I'd take noise over mushiness, myself. So, I don't have experience of the former, but I'm not at all sure that the Lightroom version is inferior. I've never used Olympus Viewer and never had any issues with Lightroom (I'm using 4 still). I can imagine that adobe does not have all the secrets from olympus to produce a comparable result, but the color difference and grainy look is quite disturbing. Has anyone else experienced such a difference or am I missing something? Right side is the raw file directly imported in LR5. Left is the image exported in OV3 to 16-bit tiff and imported in lightroom for easy comparison. I have opened other files in both programs but never noticed such a big difference between the unmodified images. I'm rather new to post processing and after fiddling with it a little in Olympus Viewer 3, I tried it also in lightroom 5. I have a picture that is a little underexposed and not too sharp that I wanted to try and improve a little with some post processing.
