What is an ORF file?

The Olympus Raw Format (ORF) is a proprietary raw image container developed by Olympus (now OM Digital Solutions) for its digital SLR and mirrorless cameras. It stores the unprocessed data from the image sensor, including the Bayer filter mosaic information, alongside headers describing color temperature, saturation, and contrast settings at the time of capture. Unlike processed JPEGs, ORF files maintain a higher bit depth (typically 12-bit or 14-bit), allowing for extensive post-processing latitude regarding exposure and white balance adjustments.

How to open an ORF file

To view or edit ORF files, users should utilize OM Workspace (formerly Olympus Viewer), the manufacturer's dedicated software. Universal raw converters such as Adobe Lightroom Classic, Capture One, and DxO PhotoLab provide robust support with specific lens profiles. For free, open-source alternatives on Linux or Windows, RawTherapee and Darktable can decode and edit ORF files using the LibRaw library.

What is a WEBP file?

WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google specifically for web optimization, utilizing the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) container. It employs predictive coding based on the VP8 video codec for lossy compression and the LZ77 algorithm with entropy coding for lossless compression. WebP supports transparency (alpha channel) in both lossy and lossless modes, as well as animation, often achieving file sizes 26-34% smaller than comparable JPEG or PNG files while maintaining high structural similarity (SSIM) index scores.

How to open a WEBP file

WebP is natively supported by all modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari. For offline viewing, Windows 10 and 11 support WebP via the Photos app (often requiring the Webp Image Extensions package), while macOS users can view them in Preview (macOS Big Sur and later). Legacy systems or incompatible editors require conversion tools or third-party viewers like IrfanView to render the image data.
