 RAW development performed by OM Workspace is called **PC RAW processing** because it is performed by the PC. With some Olympus cameras it is possibile to perform the so called **USB RAW processing**, i.e. the processing is performed by the camera graphic processor (generally the Olympus TruePic) via the USB cable. The camera must be turned on and switched to the **RAW/Control** mode (see the picture of the USB menu on the right). Unfortunately the E-M10 is not capable of such mode.

 For the Olympus E-M10 the thumbnail embedded into a RAW file is a JPEG file with a resolution of **3200 x 2400** pixels and about **1 Mb** in size (you can extract if using the ''dcraw'' program).
+==== How To ====
+  * **Export cooked image file**:
+    - Into the Editor apply the required cooking processes using the **Toolbox tabs** on the right side (//Exposure//, //Detail//, etc.)
+    - A checkmark icon appears over the thumbnail, this means that the image is processed (a sidecar ''.pp3'' file is saved along the RAW image); click the //Save current image// icon below the edit screen.
+  * **Restore RAW image to default state**
+    * In the File Browser right-click the image and select //Processing file operations// => //Clear//.
+    * Otherwise, when the program is closed, you can delete the sidecar ''.pp3'' file where RawTherapee saves the development procedure.
+  * **Delete image files**:
+    - From the File Browser click the //Move to trash// icon above the image thumbnail.
+    - Click the //Show contents of trash// icon on the filter toolbar.
+    - Click the //Permanently delete all files in trash// on the left of the thumbnails view.
+==== The default cooking ====
+I made a simple test opening a RAW file and **changing the white balance** from the in-camera preset to //shade//, no other changes were applied to the image. The image is then saved with JPEG quality 98 and //best quality// subsampling. Here it is a 8x zoom detail, compared with the in-camera JPEG. As you can see the **noise reduction** applied in-camera is significantly higher than the one used by RawTherapee:

 If you want to roughly compare the in-camera developed JPEG and the image produced by ImageMagick (concerning brightness and contrast), you can get the overall image statistics using the **identify** command provided by ImageMagick itself. Check for the **[[wp>Mean|mean]]** and **[[wp>Standard deviation|standard deviation]]** values (where the value in parenthesis are normalized into the interval 0-1); a low mean value means a low brightness, a low standard deviation value means a low contrast:
