Nearly eight months later, OM System has launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.omsystem.com\/us\/en\/creative-recipes\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener\">OM-3 Recipes hub<\/a>, where photographers can download custom recipes made by their fellow photographers. <\/p>\n<p>So far, there are six featured recipes, developed by photographers Jerred Z, Kyler Steele, Ali O\u2019Keefe, Kitty Marie, Paul Clark, and Jonathan Paragas. The featured recipes offer color and black-and-white photo profiles, ranging from soft and subtle to punchy and dramatic. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/om-3-recipes-examples-2-800x403.jpg\" alt=\"A collage of six images: modern white building, wooden house in greenery, sunset through trees, red temple, tall forest trees, and people kayaking on a river surrounded by mountains.\" width=\"800\" height=\"403\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-818582\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, Kyler Steele\u2019s recipe, \u201cNostalgic Summer,\u201d is a vintage-inspired recipe \u201cthat focuses on vibrant greens and golden yellows while stripping away blues for a more timeless look.\u201d In contrast, Kitty Marie\u2019s \u201cRed Soda Pop\u201d recipe warms up the overall image, intensifies reds, and softens yellows and greens. <\/p>\n<p>OM-3 owners can <a href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/252525487492062\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener\">submit their own recipes<\/a> for consideration through a form on OM System\u2019s OM-3 Recipes page. Photographers share their name, email address, Instagram account (if applicable), recipe name, and a brief description of their recipe. They then upload a .JPG file straight from the OM-3 that was shot using their custom recipe. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/om-3-recipes-examples-1-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"A collage featuring a close-up of a bird\u2019s eye, a traditional Asian pavilion over water, a rustic building with a bike, a cityscape at dusk, and a park bench near a tree in a grassy area.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-818583\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The new webpage also features images that photographers have captured using OM-3 Recipes, and they\u2019re striking. <\/p>\n<p>Installing new recipes to the OM-3 is not quite as straightforward as it could be. Rather than utilize the OI.Share mobile app, installing downloaded recipes requires hooking the OM-3 up to a computer and opening the OM Workspace app. With the OM-3 set into MTP mode, photographers click Camera from OM Workspace\u2019s top bar, click \u201cLoad Color\/Monochrome Profile,\u201d and then drag JPEG images with custom recipes into the OM Workspace pop-up window. The app will display the precise settings for each recipe, and photographers can load their favorites onto C-setting positions. A complete installation video is <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.omsystem.com\/us\/en\/creative-recipes\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener\">available on OM\u2019s Creative Recipes page<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>This convoluted installation process, which will surely prevent some photographers from utilizing other people\u2019s recipes, makes about as much sense as OM System locking its cinema profiles to its bad-looking 8-bit video files on recent cameras, like the OM-3. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/om-3-front-control-dial-800x704.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of hands adjusting a dial on an OM-3 camera, with the lens prominently in the foreground and a textured background visible.\" width=\"800\" height=\"704\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-818585\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>This C-setting position corresponds to the OM-3\u2019s top mode dial, which has C1-C5 custom mode positions to which users can assign custom recipes. The camera also features a front Color Profile control dial, similar to the one introduced by the beloved PEN-F nearly a decade ago. The Color Profile control dial includes Color, Mono, CRT, and ART settings, as well as a spot where users can scroll through standard and custom profiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Photographers have been able to experiment with their own custom recipes since the OM-3 launched in February, but with the new dedicated Creative Recipes website, it\u2019s easier than ever to download other people\u2019s creations. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Image credits:<\/strong> OM System  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When OM System announced the OM-3 in February, it did so with a renewed focus on custom picture&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":270281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[648,1032,6154,1033,171,140494,58682,140495,140496,140497,140498,16577,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-270280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-custom","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-om3","14":"tag-omsystem","15":"tag-omsystemom3","16":"tag-postprocessing","17":"tag-presets","18":"tag-profiles","19":"tag-recipes","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115301249778777387","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
