Convert ORF to VIPS

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.

The VIPS (Virtual Image Processing System) file format, developed by the libvips library, is designed for high-performance image processing with low memory usage. It supports arbitrary metadata and is optimized for command-line operations. Although not widely supported by other programs, it serves as an efficient intermediate format for tasks like image inversion and gamma correction. The format includes a 64-byte header with basic fields such as image width and a set of band-interleaved scanlines for the image data.
