no support for olympus omd1 mark ii in raw for photo elements 13

[jand14964610]

I have a olympus omd1 mark ii and use raw images but I cannot use in photo elements 13 is there now support for this or will there be in future

Dont really want to go down dog route as it is a extra step and does it lose any image data?

If you want a free solution, the DNG conversion is there for you. An extra step (a single step for a whole folder, even hundreds of images).

And no, you don't lose any image data. Same quality (it's a raw format).

thank you for the reply the dng solution is the one I am using but it involves that extra step . Useful to know you dont lose any image data I wasn't sure.

You hint at another solution that you can pay for could you comment on that as well please

The faq about the latest Elements version has not yet been updated:

FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

You'll see that your camera requires the ACR version 9.9.

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

Which is only supported by PSE15 and the current PSE2018.

Camera Raw plug-in and Adobe application compatibility

Only PSE 2018 is sold by Adobe now, so if you pay the 'upgrade' price, you'll be able to open your ORF files natively. Maybe wait for the next PSE 2019 version (September/October) and see if the other enhancements and bug fixes are worth the expense.
