Thanks for the samples. I think the last three effects should be labeled
"Lurid", "Lomo" and "Crap"
As for the normal shots, other than the apparent colour cast in the
first few, the only problem I see is in the highlight and shadow
compression. It's most obvious in Trunk, but also compromising the
highlights in Rock-Limb and Kangaroo-Apple.
I appreciate the problems facing the designers in trying to retain some
highlight and shadow detail while still having the midtone contrast that
gives images 'pop', all in an 8 bit file. And Oly took the high road of
compressing, rather than simply clipping.
Still, I can so easily imagine the new owner looking at Trunk and
concluding that a three shot bracket and HDR are necessary to capture
the whole dynamic range of the subject.
Not so, even from the JPEG.

I suppose someday in-camera processors will make adjustments by area to
retain more tonal detail. For now, it's RAW for me.
