Convert ORF to HDR

The ORF (Olympus Raw Format) file extension is used by Olympus digital cameras to store uncompressed raw image data. This format captures all the data from the camera's sensor, preserving high-quality image details and metadata such as color, saturation, and contrast. Introduced with Olympus digital cameras, ORF files are essential for professional photographers who require extensive post-processing capabilities. These files are not universally compatible with standard image viewers, necessitating specialized software like Olympus Workspace for viewing and editing.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and in the context of Radiance, it refers to a file format used for storing high-quality images. The Radiance HDR format was developed as part of the Radiance rendering system, which originated in the late 1980s at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Its primary use is in the field of computer graphics, where it captures a wider range of luminance levels compared to standard formats, enabling more realistic lighting effects. This format is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise light measurements and accurate visualizations, making it indispensable for professionals in fields such as architectural visualization and visual effects.
