Just unwrapped my OM-3 and it's charging now. I pre-ordered the PEN and in doing some after purchase research (I literally pre-ordered blind at 4a the day it was announced.) I discovered a feature that prompted me to order the OM-3 too.
So here is my question. I probably have the name wrong, but I read about the ability to do bracketing - select several color profiles - take 1 shot, and the camera applies all the selected profiles to the shot. So 1 shot yields 4 different shots. Do you ever use that? How does it work for you? It occurs to me that loading these 4 profiles and shooting in that bracketing mode might be very interesting.
How cool about the OM-3/PEN combo! SO MUCH FUN. So powerful. Great image making possibilities!! And it's the "Art Bracketing" feature - you can do it with a ton of profiles! The OM-3 doesn't have the ability (yet?) to add your creative dial custom profiles to the mix yet - but the PEN allows you to add all 4 color and 4 monochrome recipes you have dialed in. I love it - it makes recipe making a lot easier because you can compare different settings on the exact same photo all at once!!! So yes - it's awesome!
Love that you put these custom recipes out here for us. One suggestion. On the OM Systems Creative Recipes site, all you have to do is download one of the jpegs, throw it in OM Workspace, and we can automatically save those recipes anywhere and everywhere we wish on the OM-3 with one click of a button. Posting the recipes is great, but it's extremely time consuming to set them and save them all manually to each of the already established custom settings. I.E.: Setting the creative dial six times—once for PASM, and the individually for each C1-5. With the four recipes you provided, to save them across all 6 presets would mean entering them in manually 24 times. In the future, any chance you could upload your jpegs with that information still encoded? Hopefully it's possible with this website. (Honestly I'd super appreciate it if the jpegs on this page could be reposted with the settings in tact, because they're beautiful and I want to use them all!) Thanks.
Cool. I did think of a workaround that's fairly quick for those who might be reading this with the same issue. Entering these recipes manually once each, I can then take any old picture with them myself, which I can then use in OM Workspace to upload the settings to the rest of the places I want them.
This would also make a handy way to archive various recipes. Take a shot with a recipe, give it a label, throw it in a "recipes" folder for easy upload later.
Great contribution. I have a question about the last monochrome recipe. I have a Pen F and there's no monochrome version 4 here (only up to version 3). Which version would you recommend for this recipe if you're familiar with the Pen F?

Thanks, Drew! I will do that in the future - great idea! I can see pain of registering all of them!!!!! I'll try to remember, Drew!!!

Hey, Mj! So sorry, but I’m not familiar with the Pen F! Appreciate the comment though.
Love that mime. (Not something you hear everyday.)Possible to give a little duotone in camera?
I think blue, purple, green or something? I haven't really looked at those yet!
