That kind of operation may look differently on the screen than downsizing from say 80MP to 50MP, or any large image to one somewhat smaller.Īlso, of course, it doesn't lend itself to downsizing using a formula like a factor of 2. It seems like a regular downsize (from 80 to 50) would do the usual violence to the image that downsizing does (yeah, you can boost the sharpness back up after, but I hate resorting to such stuff).Īny thoughts from our PP and hi-res experts would be appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.I think that maybe my thoughts about downsizing have been incorrectly influenced because I do a lot of website work, so often I am downsizing things to VERY low sizes, from say 4000 x 3000 (or whatever) down to 400 x 300. This is what I meant when I said you cannot really do what the camera does yourself. Then, after doing your edits, you are kind of left wondering if you could somehow duplicate what the camera does to get it down to 50MP when you finally generate your edited results as a jpg. However, it's still an 8-bit compressed image and I'm now thinking that wouldn't it be better to edit the raw and get a 16-bit uncompressed TIF out of it for further editing? Seems like it would. I had initially thought that since these hi-res jpg images are already kind of jpgs on steroids (by virtue of the hi-res mode and how it works), it would be just as good to edit the jpg as the raw. I'm now thinking that you would want to use the raw for this, for the regular reasons you can sometimes (always) get better PP results by using a raw instead of the jpg. If you use an independent raw edited (I use Rawtherapee), there may even be less of a point.īUT, what if you want to really EDIT the image? I mean, say the jpg out of the camera needs some post-processing. I mean, yes, you can edit the raw in Olympus Workspace and produce an 80MP jpg out of it, but is there any point to that? Folks are saying no. My own thinking was that Olympus must have had a good reason to downsize the 80MP raw to 50 in the jpg processing (no good reason not to and use more space for no payback, etc).Īlso, it must be that the camera is doing something "special" to produce the 50MP jpg THAT YOU CANNOT DO. My take-away was that there was little reason to use the 80MP raw file, because he (and most others I have seen, including Olympus) indicates there's no advantage. ![]() I have already read several threads about this on this forum and elsewhere and read Wrotniak's excellent reviews of hi-res, like this: This is one of the primary reasons I wanted hi-res mode. I just used hi-res mode (E-M5.3) to photograph a painting (from a museum I volunteer at).
