It looks like the new V1.5 WorkSpace update has some interesting changes. They opened the "Pen-F" Color and MonoChrome feature to all OMD and most Pen Series RAW files. In the past, you could only use color and monochrome profiles on Pen F RAW files...
It was always possible to use all the WS functions with jpeg files, but with RAW files some functions were not available for all cameras. This has now changed.
This means someone with an EM5 II can now apply Kodak 25 or 64 color profiles on his or her EM5 II raw files with WS...
Another interesting aspect is some of the new features introduced in the new E-P7, will work with my EM1 II RAW files in WS. This does not seem to be completely open to all camera models. For example, some of the E-P7 ART filters like the Soft Focus ART filter have an Opacity Slider. I now see this same slider for my EM1 RAW files in WS...
I also noticed the E-P7 "Instant Film" ART filter is now available in WS for jpeg files... Interesting this filter is also open for my EM1 II RAW files but not for the Pen-f raw files- interesting..?
TIP:- Never evaluate the different creative features in isolation. When you look at something like ART filters in isolation they can be boring. When you combine ART filters with other functions when editing or creating profiles, you will see they are very interesting and powerful...
Finally, I see more and more Olympus videographers reporting how they use the video footage directly from their Olympus cameras. I think photographers already knew this. Now add to this the ability to create unique color profiles in the camera and you have a very interesting video camera with Olympus cameras...

As a color profile in LR/PS, they all had an opacity slider which I liked. Also, I could use them on any RAW from any camera. If I could figure out how to export color profiles, I would like some other people to test them. But all I have is the cubes for the LUT function in PS or conversion to color profiles in PS.
