Aged almost 84 I am no juvenile, and petulant I am not. I do not suffer fools gladly, in fact I don't suffer them at all. I stopped reacting to the OP's nonsense many years ago and I regret that I ...

I updated my OM1 firmware using an sd card. The files up to V1.5 are available for download on Github.

By now you must come to terms with the fact that you have been wasting your time with Mr Newton. Pearls before swine and all that stuff. I fell out with him on this forum many years ago because of ...

The OP uses smallest point and bird ID. Is that viable? I thought for bird ID one used all points. It seems like I am confused again by the OM1.

My spare non-working Stylus1 has a common fault. When switching on, the lens extends, pauses and then retracts and the camera turns off. I have tried with a succession of fully charged batteries ...

The birders love the OM1 for its speed, and they love the 150-400 pro zoom and the 300f4 pro. Maybe OM Systems is becoming a one trick pony. Ken C

I have 2 of them plus another one not working, just for parts. They are excellent versatile and unique cameras. If you are used to Olympus menus the Stylus 1/1s is a breeze. I have a couple of Oly ...

The conducted tour of the upper levels is available to parties a maximum of 10 people at £15 per head, booked in advance. [I seem to have included one picture twice but I am now not permitted to ...

I recently had a conducted tour of the upper levels of the cathedral in the city of Wells in Somerset. It was almost 100 spiral steps up and not for the faint hearted. The views presented are all ...

Mr Newcombe You are clearly happy with your images of mostly unchallenging subjects. I guess they are from cameras with small imagers at ISO 400 or below. In my view you will gain little from using ...

Thanks Jim.

Thanks for these comments. I think Workspace has the option of adding other items to the exif data but I have been so upset with the idea that I was cheating, I just wanted to get to the root of ...

I think I have found my error. When exporting from WorkSpace I simply click on a top left Icon called Export and I have not looked at the page that displays.  I now see I have a number of export ...

I am at a total loss. The file was saved as a jpg straight from Workspace. I have put the orf file once again through WorkSpace. I cropped it and resized to 2000x1500 then through AI and saved as a ...

Thank you for pointing this out. I now realise what has happened. All those images went through Workspace and were cropped and noise reduced. Then they went through Photoshop CS6 for resizing to ...

I cannot explain why your exif shows they were processed in CS6, which I do have. These were all from OM Workspace only, directly from orf files. In Workspace settings there is an option to ...

It depends upon your definition of "nice". All polite, relevant and critical comments are welcome. You may think the images could do with some sympathetic sharpening, which of course is ok. I don't ...

Thanks for your considered comment. They were not edited, just cropped and de-noised. The main point of my post was not to judge how effective is the software, but to show that to my taste, AI ...

I perhaps should have mentioned that these were all taken in a dark woodland at ISO 3200 and wide open at f4 on the 300mm f4 pro.

I see something strange in the area across what I would call the shoulders of the bird, ie the top of the wings. I don't know if that because it is over sharpened, but something odd is going on ...
