Step-by-step guides for loading recipes into OM Workspace and your camera.

OM Workspace (.OES)

Load a recipe via batch processing file in OM Workspace.

Camera upload via JPG

Load a recipe directly into your camera using a SOOC JPG.

How to use OM Workspace batch processing files (.OES)

OES files are OM Workspace presets that apply a saved set of image adjustments — including Color Profile / Color Recipe settings — to any raw (.ORF) file. Note that an OES file can’t be loaded directly into the camera; for that, see the JPG workflow below.

Download an OES file

Open a recipe on this site.

Find the OM Workspace Batch Processing File link and click it.

Save the .OES file somewhere easy to find (e.g. Downloads).

Load the OES file in OM Workspace

Menu names may vary slightly by version.

Open OM Workspace.

Select a raw photo (.ORF) or group of photos.

Click the floppy disk icon in the lower right — it shows Save Batch Processing File and Load Batch Processing File.

OM Workspace: opening the preset/batch processing panel — OM Workspace: open the preset / batch processing area.

Choose Load Batch Processing File and select the downloaded OES file.

OM Workspace: loading an .OES preset file — OM Workspace: load / import the downloaded .OES file.

The settings are now applied and visible in the Edit pane.

Tip — batch apply: Select multiple photos before loading the preset to apply the same look across all of them in one go.

Load a recipe into your camera using a JPG image

OM System cameras store recipe settings in the EXIF data of straight-out-of-camera JPGs. OM Workspace can read that data and write the recipe directly to your camera — no manual entry required.

Note: This workflow does nottransfer white balance settings. You’ll need to set those manually on the camera after loading.

In OM Workspace, open the Camera menu and select Load Color/Monochrome Profile.

OM Workspace: Camera → Load Color/Monochrome Profile.

Select the recipe JPG file you downloaded from this site.

OM Workspace: selecting the recipe JPG file — Select the straight-out-of-camera JPG containing the recipe.

Click Next.

When prompted, connect your camera via USB and select MTP mode on the camera.

It can help to wait until OM Workspace prompts you before plugging in — connecting too early sometimes causes it to hang.

Select which Custom Mode slot(s) and Color Profile slot to load the recipe into.

Choose which Custom Mode and Color Profile slots to write the recipe to.

Click Load.
