Came across this link which will enable Oly users to open, manipulate and saveas (TIFF/JPEG etc) .ORF files through a very simple programme. This saves using the messy Oly Camedia software, which does not allow individual images to be opened, only via 'opening the camera'.
I have test run it and it works well. I can now shoot away in RAW in confiedence of editing, if required through a standard package such as Photoshop or PSP. Enjoy.
Heres the link.
