About formats

ORF (Olympus RAW Format) is the proprietary RAW image format used by Olympus (now OM Digital Solutions) digital cameras, introduced in 2000 with the E-10 digital SLR and continuing through the entire Micro Four Thirds OM-D and PEN lineups. ORF files capture the unprocessed 12-bit or 14-bit readout from the camera's Four Thirds or Micro Four Thirds Live MOS or CCD sensor, preserving the complete Bayer-pattern mosaic data before any demosaicing, noise reduction, or color processing. The format uses an Olympus-specific container that stores the raw data with lossless compression alongside multiple embedded JPEG previews, extensive EXIF metadata, and Olympus MakerNote tags encoding Art Filter settings, in-body image stabilization parameters, face/eye detection results, and computational photography mode information. ORF has evolved across several generations of Olympus sensors, from the original 4-megapixel Four Thirds CCD to the 20+ megapixel stacked sensors in current OM System bodies, and the format has accommodated these changes while maintaining backward compatibility in processing software. One advantage is the Micro Four Thirds system's depth-of-field characteristics: ORF files from these smaller sensors deliver greater depth of field at equivalent apertures compared to full-frame, a genuine advantage for macro, landscape, and travel photography where sharpness throughout the frame matters. Wide processing support is another strength — ORF files are handled by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, Olympus/OM Workspace, dcraw, and RawTherapee.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is the native file format of Adobe Photoshop, the industry-standard raster image editor first released on February 19, 1990. PSD files preserve the complete editing state of a Photoshop project: all layers (raster, text, adjustment, shape, and smart object layers) with their positions, blending modes, opacity, and layer effects; layer masks and vector masks; alpha channels; spot color channels; paths; guides; slices; and the full undo history. The format supports images up to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels (PSB, the large document format, extends this to 300,000 x 300,000) in color modes including RGB, CMYK, Lab, Grayscale, Indexed, Duotone, and Multichannel, at 1, 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel. PSD files use a combination of RLE compression for individual layer data and store composite (flattened) preview images for quick display by applications that cannot parse the full layer structure. The format has become a de facto standard for professional creative workflows far beyond Photoshop itself — photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and video post-production artists exchange PSD files as the working format that preserves creative flexibility. One advantage is the non-destructive editing model: PSD preserves every layer, mask, adjustment, and effect as independently editable elements, allowing creative decisions to be revised at any point without starting over. The format's role as the interchange standard for the creative industry provides another core strength — PSD files can be opened by Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro, as well as Affinity Photo, GIMP, Sketch, Figma, and Photopea, making it the lingua franca of visual design.
