Format Overview & Applications
A trip editor can collect selected ORF frames as PDF pages for review, leaving the original captures available for later development.
Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown
The ORF is passed to LibRaw for AHD demosaicing; camera white balance and matrix are applied, orientation is corrected, and the generated pixels are 8-bit sRGB.
OS & Browser Compatibility
OM Workspace or another ORF-capable editor can work with the capture, while office PDF tools make the converted image available alongside trip notes.
Useful info
For a report that includes exact crop framing, set the crop in the raw editor first and compare the final page; this route uses the decoded full-frame image.
Format Comparison & Technical Specifications
An Olympus 4608×3456 travel frame makes a 30.7×23 inch page at 150 dpi.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PDF preserve an ORF raw thumbnail and capture controls?
The route sends developed pixels to the PDF, not the ORF container’s raw editing controls or thumbnail data.
How much channel precision is written?
The LibRaw call requests an 8-bit sRGB image after AHD demosaicing.
Which file should an OM Workspace user keep?
Keep the ORF beside the page so that later edits can use the original camera data.
