I'm not spending the time or money for Lightroom anymore, so I've cancelled my subscription. I enabled the ORF setting on my TG6 a couple of years ago, and now I want to remove/disable it to eliminate the duplicate photos and free up space on my SD card, but I can't remember how to do it. I figure asking my fellow TG6 users would be faster than looking in the manual or online searches. If you can't point me in the direction or give me a step-by-step, I'd appreciate.

TIA!
 
If you mean saving both raw and jpg then it is on the first page of the menu

I've recently started using Photoscape X, the free version offers a lot of options, and I am currently trying to get up to speed on it, as it does a better job than Irfanview (which I have used for a few years) but I am much slower with PX as I haven't got on top of all the direct controls. This results in me using Irfan to quick process, then do the final work in PX on those I think are worth it. I am hoping after this next trip (next Friday) I can make the full jump.
 
Darktable (open source/non-corporate) can be used to process OM System ORFs quite nicely, with some understanding of its workflow.

But several strong operations are required to recapitulate the heavy onboard processing, local contrast, color blasting and idealization that OM/TG does "in post"

So it is usually hard to beat TG JPGs via manual editing of the raw ORFs. It can be done. TG optical and digital quality (detail noise range etc) is limited enough to make this largely unrewarding.

It's a different story for the MFT line, where the ORFs are very much worth raw editing

Olympus have a better program than lightroom and it is free

Olympus work space ... just enter your Olympus serial number and its free. Enjoy

I'm a photography dummy, which is why I bought the TG6, so I don't quite understand what you said here. But I'm sure other photo experts will appreciate the advice.

I really just want to know a step-by-step to change the setting to only take JPG and no more ORF.

My settings doesn't follow your instruction. This is the first thing that comes up after one press of the "menu" button. What's next?
