About ORF Files

An .orf file is a raw photo created by an Olympus digital camera, such as the SP-350, E-600, or XZ-2. The image data an ORF file contains is saved exactly as it was recorded by a camera's CCD sensor, rather than being compressed or processed. Retaining all this data allows photographers to precisely edit the image an ORF file contains. However, it also results in ORF files having large file sizes.

Most image viewers cannot open ORF files (or other camera raw files). Therefore, you may need to convert an ORF file to a more common format before you can open it in your preferred image viewer. Converting an ORF file to the BMP (.bmp), TIFF (.tiff), or PNG (.png) format will retain most of the image's quality. Converting the image to the JPEG (.jpg) format will noticeably reduce the file's size, but may also noticeably reduce its image quality.

NOTE: Converting an ORF file to a non-raw format removes the raw data it contains. Therefore, you may want to retain a copy of your ORF file for future editing.
