Hacking Lightroom 5 to support the E-M10 [Mac OS]
3

Hi,

If you are on a Mac, you can get basic RAW file support (without the color profiles, which I never use) in Lightroom 5 using a string substitution of CameraRAW.

Proof:

As I don't have a E-PM2, I used this "slot" and replaced it with the string E-M10 using perl.:

1. Quit Lightroom

2. Open a Terminal and cd to the directory contaning CameraRaw:

dessl@cosmo cd /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/CameraRaw.lrtoolkit

3. make a copy of your original CameraRaw program:

dessl@cosmo /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/CameraRaw.lrtoolkit $ sudo cp CameraRaw CameraRaw.orig

4. use perl to substitute the string. Please note that the string should have the same length as before, so better not replace E-M5 with E-M10:

dessl@cosmo /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.app/Contents/Frameworks/CameraRaw.lrtoolkit $ sudo perl -pi -e 's/E-PM2/E-M10/g' CameraRaw

5. enjoy E-M10 RAW file in Lightroom.

If you mess up, you can always copy back the original file. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your Computer.

cheers,
