Just a warning for future olympus owners & lightroom.
While Lightroom did just fine with the E-P1 AFAIR, it's doing a bit of a massacre with the OM-D files, at least on my computer. I suspected something wrong while reviewing the violet skyes of central park. Haven't had much blue skies until that trip.

Adobe on the left, Olympus on the right, default settings.
I found that adjusting the Adobe preset blue hue to -10 makes for a quick fix but the rest is still all over the place and you can fix that if you're patient enough.
Although I did remember it was also slightly different with the E-P1, this is now pretty ugly as I got to this conclusion without comparing. Something was just wrong. Sad shit...
I guess I won't bother for most "snapshots" like this one.
Just keep that in mind, you might need to export tiff from Olympus viewer file first. Which is a shame at 45megs the file...
Bonus question, is anything making TIFF files as flexible as raw files wrt highlight recovery (is the headroom in the file?), white balance tweaking etc ?
