Caduceus OM3 recipes
Caduceus for OM-3 is community firmware that replaces the creative Color profile with user-defined films. This page explains how those films show up here as recipes.
What a Caduceus recipe is
The firmware gives the OM-3 films (FILM 1–20). A film has far more settings than a stock Color profile: hue, lightness and saturation for each of 12 colors, blacks and whites, split toning, grain, glow / clarity, noise reduction and art-effect choices, and a wider white balance shift.
A Caduceus OM3 recipe is one of those films. It only works on an OM-3 running the Caduceus firmware, so it is a separate recipe type rather than a variation of Creative Color. You can filter for it on the browse page.
How to upload one
- Run Caduceus firmware v0.27 or later on your OM-3.
- Shoot with one of FILM 1 to FILM 20 selected. The firmware writes the whole film into the photo as a short code starting with
om3.1.. - Upload the straight-out-of-camera JPEG, the same as for any other recipe. Edited files, or files that have lost their EXIF data, won’t work.
Films that are close to stock settings are accepted too. Photos taken with COLOR 1–4 settings of the camera’s own, CRT, ART or MONO don’t carry a film code, so they aren’t accepted as Caduceus recipes.
What the recipe page shows
Every setting in the film, plus white balance. The film’s number and name are shown as labels only: they are the uploader’s own names, and two people’s “FILM 9” can be different. The code is the recipe.
Open in Caduceus Control Panel
The recipe page has an Open in Caduceus Control Panel link. It opens the firmware project’s web tool for editing the camera’s films and adds this film to the first free slot, or asks which one to replace. The film is only useful if the Caduceus firmware is on your camera.
Caduceus recipes can’t be downloaded as an OM Workspace .oes file. Use the Control Panel link instead.
