Unable to preview Olympus EM-1 Raw (.orf) files

I purchased Aurora HDR 2019 for use on Windows 10 today. I discovered that there is no preview of the RAW files created by an Olympus EM-1 camera as .orf. The files do open but without a thumbnail preview (unlike in Adobe Bridge) undermines the value of Aurora.

Can you assist please?

  Hi Remco,

  This is actually a problem with Windows, not Aurora. Aurora uses your computer's file explorer to open images and unfortunately Microsoft stopped updating the codecs needed to display thumbnail previews of .orf raw files (and several other formats).

  You can continue to use Bridge to preview your files and then take them into Aurora from there. Also, as of December 18 you'll be able to use Luminar 3 for photo organization and file previews, and be able to launch Aurora from Luminar.

  Thank you Angela for your prompt response. I hope that you guys will one day provide the management software like Adobe Bridge or Fastone Viewer.

  For now I will tolerate to display the images in chronological order with jpgs alongside so I can find the raw file alongside. A bit out of character with the excellence of your software though.
