Editing OM-D E-M5 Mark III files with imagic

imagic opens .ORF files from the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III natively on Windows and macOS. Point it at a card or shoot folder and it builds previews, scores every frame for sharpness, closed eyes, and composition, and groups near-duplicate bursts — so a full shoot collapses to its keepers before you edit anything.

Processing runs through imagic's own built-in RAW engine, entirely on your machine: batch-apply one look across the keepers and export JPEGs in a single pass. Nothing uploads, which matters at about 18-22 MB per frame. The 500-export trial is full-featured and needs no card; licenses are one-time, from €19.
