Shoot Better Color Photographs With Olympus OM-D

[@Rebla01]

I’m embarrassed Robin. I can’t believe how much I didn’t know about a camera I’ve owned for 3 years. I started to read the manual way back but kind of forgot about it once the basics were understood. Some great tips there & yes please do some stuff on B&W photography 🙏

[@robinwong]

There is no need to feel embarrassed! We all learn and grow together. Hence I am making these videos.

Dont be embarassed.. its too complicated to know everything. We must REST !!!!!!

[@didi08021]

yes, Black and white tips please (portraits in particular)

[@robinwong]

Alright! Will do one soon.

[@marklaurendet1861]

Rob Trek has also done a few on B&W setting for Olympus

[@comandreja]

Yeah I want those B&W tips!

[@robinwong]

Awesome!

[@kenrickhadley4499]

wow Robin, I learn so much watching your channel. Everyday is a joy watching you.I have rediscovered my artistic life after 60. Thank you so much again. I seem to thanking you every time i watch you. I am so happy to have a teacher like you even if you are on another side of the world.

[@farmfoodfeast]

These tips videos are fantastic, you've helped me unlock features in my E-M1 ii that I didn't even know existed.

[@robinwong]

Thanks, glad I could help.

[@troporobo]

Hey Robin - Thanks for your fantastic content and your recent efforts to increase the pace of content creation. Your channel is my first ever KZbin subscription! I’m a long time lurker, first time commenter, and also a long time Olympus user (from the original OM-D film days) and your explanations of the tips and tricks and menus intricacies have been illuminating. I am obsessed with underwater macro photography and dabble in terrestrial macro and wildlife photography, for which M4/3 presents some significant advantages. It would be great if you could add such topics to your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@edwin_ac]

Robin, for all the tips that you mentioned, basically you can do all of those using Olympus Workspace, on Olympus raw files? Right?

[@vincenzobrunoreportage]

Hey Robin! Iya colleague from Italy! With you channel I am falling in love with Olympus m43 system! I have a question abou workspace.. is it possible to export the colour profile to the camera from the pc to bake them directly into jpg pictures? I know it should be possible with pen f camera, but I cannot understand if it would be possible with a camera like the om10 mkii! Thank you for your passion!

[@jaysonmanaol5256]

Hi Robin, at 4:36 time when I choose the Color Creator, there is no Color/Vivid options that show up thus I cant view the color wheel. Im using Olympus EM5 Mark II. Any idea? Thanks

[@johnspiezia]

Hi Robin, love your KZbin channel. Here’s my problem. I shot using Partial Color 1 in RAW format. When I imported into Lightroom 5, the photos were restored to full color. I have to use Adobe RAW to DNG converter first. What did I do wrong. Is there a setting in Lightroom to import photos as is? Thanks in advance for your help. John

[@howardcurtiss5048]

Robin, you go where I have feared to tread. :) ... And to places unknown or under-used. You are unrivaled as an Olympus guide. It is perhaps my misunderstood notion that using color creator limits the image to .jpg? Please comment on that. I believe using art filters likewise limit image to .jpg. Nothing at all wrong with that if you know what it is you are getting out beforehand. The auto WB Amber and Green micro adjust tips are awesome. All in all for us color lovers this latest episode is Olympian! Black and white tips would be very welcome.

[@were2man]

Hi Robin, in em10 mark ii, the Color/Vivid doesn't appear after activate the Color Creator. Is there anything i missed out? Thank you.

[@paindoc7]

Robin, I totally enjoy your videos. I am going on safari in Tanzania in July. Can you share some useful tips about wildlife photography from a safari vehicle?

[@KevinSmythPhotography]

Robin..you used to have a video posted I titled "Robin in the City" I may have that wrong. It was a short video of your little Robin character filmed in different places. I can't find that among your videos. I really liked it. Can you help me find it? Thanks

[@sjarora486]

Great tips Robin . Your style and simplicity attracts my attention. Please advise how one can achieve fujifilm ACROS quality black and white images.

[@andy.underwater.videos]

Hi, Great teaching videos, I cant find or select colour creator on my EM1MK2, it isn't there to scroll too, what could be set incorrectly, so to not offer colour creator? any ideas?

[@arkideqs9122]

Hi robin my Olympus Omd em10Mk2 seems dont have the custom color for Color creator. I cant adjust the colors , your screen was different from what i see in my camera

[@scottjensen3233]

On my camera when I try and click on the auto white balance with fine adjust (A + 0 button) and the other button (G + 7) it doesn't come up, hope to I get to come up, cause I would love to use those buttons on photos.

[@martincasado9913]

Dear Robin i have EM1 Mark I and i am not able to work with colour creator. When i choose this option not allows to change anything. Thanks in advance

[@yew108]

Hi Robin, could you share with us tips of making better black and white photos ?

[@Amalkaru]

Great video Robin. Please keep posting OM tips.

[@barryhardin6352]

I have the OM-D E-MI Mark III, and I cannot find color creator and the settings dial does not have the same settings as his.

[@cemsarioglu5947]

Thank you Robin. Very useful tips and a very high energy here. Fun to watch.

[@PropertiDong]

I am preferring "as original as possible picture" 👌 using natural setting ... Like this article , good info on the color adjust 😊 never use it before ...

[@yinwingwong290]

great but still can't understand color Creator . Really hard to use for me. I do not get the color/vivid bar under color creator as you got.

[@winheiMR]

Von dir kommen viele kleine Tipps und Ratschläge für OM Kameras, ich verstehe leider deine Sprache nicht kann aber alles sehr gut nachvollziehen, danke dir. Endlich hat OM das Menü aufgeräumt. Farbänderungen mache ich erst in Ps da ich mit RAW Adobe RGB Fotos mache.

[@szeyeetan9009]

Robin. Any tips on colour photograph underwater ?

[@elchinodelgado]

Yeah!!! Tips for black and white!!!

Yes would like tips for improving B&W.Great vids krrp them coming

[@nevillethorogood3639]

yes, Black and white tips please for Street Photography

[@7zinz]

I had forgotten about these features! Thanks for the reminder! It's super useful in competitions like photomarathons where you can't post edit and have to only deliver jog and 1 shot per theme. Have you ever done a marathon? Saw Tomas Heathon did in UK some years ago. Poor lad. Was a struggle but he had fun. It's really healthy to participate ;whether you are a pro or amatour. Thanks for another great video and Happy New Western New Year!

[@Eyemareader63]

So informative and easy to understand, your ability to share what is important is just amazing. Thank you. Also your video production is far better than most in all aspects.

[@ulflundh5813]

this also applies to raw files?

[@neilcousineau4956]

I personally like the colour creator. I try to use it lightly and not get too much a saturated look. Looking forward to your B&W tips. Thanks

[@RoyJenkinsPacker]

Great tips, thanks Robin. Will try tip number 5, as I have EM5 3. Look forward to your meet up with Rob Trek soon. Thanks for all your tips.

[@robinwong]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnsoftly2832]

Black and white please Robin

[@robinwong]

Sure!

[@dumm005]

12:26 can you import these adjustments to your camera?

[@vermontmike9800]

Great info Robin! Thank you as usual. And yes to the black and white.

[@gerzoc2698]

Great video. Very informative stuff well delivered. Love these TIPS videos. Cheers 👍🏻. B&W video would be great as well as perhaps a using “Workspace” video. Keep up the good work

[@robinwong]

Thanks, glad you found the video useful. I will surely make a black and white video soon. Workspace, a good suggestion, but there are a lot of other alternatives out there that others use.

[@gerzoc2698]

Robin Wong in your view is Workspace a viable usable option against the others? Your views are appreciated. Thanks

[@macg33zr]

Great tips thanks. I mostly use RAW then post-process in Capture One. To make use of these in-camera adjustments, would I need to process the RAW in Olympus Workspace then maybe export a TIF from that and do any further post-processing in Capture One? Just interested in the post-processing workflow you use for RAW files or if you use RAW+JPEG and use the JPEG if it is OK?

[@samanafkhami2792]

I would like to know as well how one can harvest these settings for RAW postprocessing (in Lightroom)

[@alexaina81]

None of the settings concerning colors, saturation or contrast can affect the Raw files, on the Jpeg ones. But in LR you can easily fine tune these settings too.

[@TheFoodPedia]

This is great info 👍🏻

[@robinwong]

Thanks!!

[@macmij]

Yes please......B&W tips would be great! 👍👍 Also, with Nikon you can: “Custom Picture Controls can be edited and registered in the camera. You can change their names, delete them, and copy them to a memory card. You can also freely share files between cameras or photographers using a memory card, as well as importing custom Picture Controls created with Picture Control Utility and registering them in your camera. Moreover, you can import custom Picture Controls created in your camera to a computer via Picture Control Utility, then apply them to images using ViewNX 2 or Capture NX 2 software (and with newer cameras, launched after June 2014, using Picture Control Utility 2, which launches from within ViewNX-i or Capture NX-D).” Is it possible to do the same on an OMD EM1M2?

[@robinwong]

Noted! Will make one soon.

[@allegrosotto2126]

I'm intrigued with trying some of these tips out, but dont think I can do all with my EM 5 original. Definitely love shooting black and white and enjoy using the presets in camera. Please show me more👍🏻

[@robinwong]

Yeah, most of the settings are not available in the E-M5 unfortunately! We are already in Mark III territory!

[@allegrosotto2126]

@@robinwong Oh well....one day😊

[@ЭльдарБолатов-о8е]

But why bother with white balance if you shoot raw?

[@shakchatthapa6664]

Thanks Robin. This video was so helpful. Yes, BnW please. Also, I’m using an Em5ii but i couldn’t access the colour creator (the colour wheel). Advice?

[@Redsnaper]

Thanks for another great clear tutorial. Presumably any adjustments to colour made in camera will only be apparent and transferred with the image when shooting jpg? If shooting RAW will the images will be unaffected or will the adjustments be carried across?

[@alexaina81]

It only affects Jpegs, never the Raws

[@kennethmartin9111]

Why don't you use Vivid color?

[@gunawang9oods888]

Thank You Mr Robin..I am using GH5 and G9..Honestly I lot many learn from you. Featured on OMD system to be same in my Lumix Camera. I am always miss your video...always success Mr Robin..thank you

Many thanks from France Robin. I own an EMD-1 Mk3 but I had used it as a Kodak Polaroid until I watch yours videos.

[@valkrys68]

One of the most informative EM1 Mark II possibilities I've seen so far.

[@willl560]

So happy I found this. Been following your work for years now and didn’t notice this one. I love playing with colours in my photos, I had no idea A was Amber and G green. I thought it was some type of Alpha Gamma thing 😂 Also didn’t know about setting colour intensity. Great stuff!

I learned some new things today, thanks!! Do you edit in olympus workspace right after or? How do you quickly visualize the orf format and then pick the photos to edit? Thanks!

[@leecw761]

For colour adjust in workspace, can only adjust if I shoot raw. What about jpeg? Thanks

[@cjchannel1322]

hi Robin, is all this features applicable to all model of OMD ? example EM10 markii?

[@petergulliver3225]

Thank you Robin, you have just showed me what I didn't know. A British saying is: 'Ignorance is bliss', but you have proved how wrong this saying is, many times over.

[@ponganuntsnubnaen4767]

Hi.​Fan​ from​ ​Thailand​

[@Cabbydave49]

Hi Robin. As always I have enjoyed this informative video. But I have one question about Olympus Workspace. I know it comes free with the camera and it has some useful functions but why oh why is it so slow. I move a slider for example to increase exposure but have to wait sometimes as much as 10 seconds for it to respond. Is it because I use Mac or is just the way it is. I forces me to revert to Adobe Lightroom. Good luck in lockdown over there by the way.

[@milindjadhav294]

Does this available for video?

[@JeevesTCW]

Thanks Robin. I have a problem trying to use conolur creator on EM5ii. After I select colour creator I dont get the "color/vivid" option below it in the super control panel. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance Rich

[@quattro26]

Hello Robin I bought a OM D E10 M IV 2months ago and thanks to you I discover how to use it with the best settings Congratulations Michel from FRANCE

[@jwickerszh]

Or .. you can shoot raw and bother with the colors later. I once took a few shots indoors and found the auto WB was getting the colors too warm, you can just in camera select the indoor WB (or incandescent light), then preview the previous shots, edit, set WB .. fixed.

Very useful tips like always, thanks! I learned a lot from your videos to better understand my new E-5 Mark III and the wired and unergonomic Olympus interface (coming from Panasonic LUMIX, for me the best interface ever!).

[@johnrayner819]

I have an EM10 MkII. I have assigned something else to Fn2. How does one access the Colour Creator in this model, Robin ?

I also have never used any of these tips though I have been shooting Olympus for over 10 years! Thanks.

Thanks Robin for sharing the tips. So far I shot JPEG when using my OMD EM5 camera....but this video is a good references to me.

[@barmansourav]

Robin, these really great tips. Please do b&w as well. After watching this I started appreciating Olympus gears more. I have acquired em1x lately. Can you make something on that camera and how to maximize the extra capabilities? Happy new year 🎉!!

[@rodmehta5356]

Yes to bw photography. I use the grainy art filter with a 35mm c-mount manual lens on my em5ii and love the setup, but end up using the additional RAW file in Lightroom instead. Temptation wins...

[@lenseal]

Robin. Really enjoying your videos. Very stimulating making me much more ambitious about my photography. One idea I wonder if it is worth exploring the histogram information. Specifically the value of the main white histogram vs the green patch reflecting the selective area under the focus patch. Thanks again.

[@Rafaga777]

Thanks a lot for these useful tips, especially that one about Olympus Workspace. Btw: I noticed when shooting in partial color the aperture tends to change to 2.8 despite the fact that in aperture mode I choose for a completely different aparture for example aperture 11. Is this normal or is it some strange behaviour of my OMD Mark II? I checked the manual but I couldn't find any information about it.

[@jeffreyl9829]

Awesome tips .. I weren't aware of the existence of colour creator option.. Thank you

@@robinwong It's high time! 😉 A fantastic camera!

Robin, I may have missed this but your tips only seem to be relevant to jpeg shooting. It is interesting to see Olympus Workspace in action. I appreciate, not everybody uses Lightroom but there you can do all those colour adjustments (white balance, saturation, luminance, hue).

Thanks for the video. I would like Black and White tips too

[@Oldfogey2014]

I enjoy watching your videos..and would love to see how you produce B&W images. Although everything is in the manual, I find it frustrating reading it as it is obviously written by engineers. If I want to find anything out, the manual has the habit of directing me to separate pages rather than linking all relevant points together. Your videos does a much better job. Many thanks.

[@Sunshineleroy]

Thank you Robin. I've been an OLY shooter for a very long time. But I have never worked with the color creator. Thanks for the demonstration and explanation.

So easy to listen and watch you than trawling through the manual that looks like War and Peace when you open it up, had to do a Little investigation to find the art filters on the EM1X but that was no problem. thanks Robin.
