P: Add support for OM-1 high resolution files (12-Bit)

I recently purchased an OM Systems OM-1 mark II camera. The camera is capable of creating high resolution photos (80 MP files) using the cameras native 20MP sensor. It creates the high res files by taking mulitple shots and merging them (in camera) to create a single high res image. Unfortunatly Lightroom Classic does not seem to be able to import these high res files. The normal resolution files transfer with no issue, it's only the 80MP high resolution images which won't transfer.

KCB56 - Thanks!  It's always the obvious isn't it?  🙂   I had been getting the JPG's previously, but somewhere along the line that option must have gotten unchecked.

No, but I'll bet the issue is really simple.  Go to Preferences and find the option that says "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos".  Check the option.

Has anyone else had an issue with importing the jpg (third file in the ORF, ORI, JPG trio for a Handheld HI Res shot.  When using the LR File\Import Photos and Video option, LR imports ORF & ORI but not JPG.  Same is true if clicking on source folder and choosing Synchronize Folder.

I should also add that I have tested these files in other raw converters, such as DxO PhotoLab 6, Fast RAW Viewer, OM Workspace, and Topaz Photo AI. None of them have this problem with opening and processing this camera's High Resolution .orf files, regardless of whether they are 12bit or 14bit.

I have the exact same problem with the OM-1 mark II high resolution files as described by others in this thread, and identical to the situation described by KCB56. The problem seems to be with Adobe Camera RAW, since the behavior is identical in Lightroom and Photoshop's ACR module. Also as described, going into the camera menu and changing the RAW Recoding Bit rate from the default 12bit to 14bit allows the file to be recognized, imported and processed by both LR and Photoshop. I am also willing to upload some files if that would be helpful in getting the problem fixed. But as KCB56 noted, the file size of the High Resolution image is high:  65 mb.

The OM-1 Mark II can create either 12 bit or 14 bit High Resolution images (Pixel Shift).  This can be done in either Handheld mode which creates 50mp files or in Tripod Mode which creates 80mp images.

 

The 12 bit Tripod Mode images can not be opened in Photoshop or imported into LightRoom Classic.  Strangely enough, the 14 bit images can be opened,  and that is a new function in the Mark II version of the Camera.  It is just the 12 bit tripod mode high resolution images that fail.

 

The 12 bit Handheld mode images can be opened as well as the 14 bit Handheld mode images.  

 

I would attach an example file to this post, but the limit says 47 mb.  The 12 bit example I have is 65.6 mb.  

 

I've tried this with several images just to validate that the image wasn't somehow corrupted on the memory card.  

I'm on LightRoom Classic 13.5.1.   Camera Raw 16.5.
