Yeah! It would be great to share the same RAW format.
I´ll ask David Coffin because I don´t think it should be very difficult. I have
copied the header from an E-P1 file and paste it into a RW2 file. Then I open
Olympus Studio 2 and it tries to open it and some of the image is seen but I
cannot load it. I am also seeing in the RW2 file the Olympus thumbnail from the
E-P1 file.
Thanks Moose for your info.
