About ORF (OLYMPUS) to PGM Conversion
ORF (introduced 2004) and PGM are both image formats, but they differ in important ways. ORF is Olympus's RAW photo format with full sensor data. PGM is a widely used file format.
When you convert ORF to PGM, the goal is to convert between formats quickly. Converting ORF to PGM maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings. Understanding these technical differences helps you choose the right format for your workflow.
