Iridient Developer 3.0.2 is now available for download!

This update includes further improvements to the v3 noise reduction introduced in version 3. Both Luminance and Color noise reduction adjustments in particular are now much more effective with some forms of noise, especially when strongly increasing shadow brightness and with high ISO images. The maximum strength of noise reduction has also been increased to give smoother, lower noise output when set to high levels while still retaining good detail and color fidelity. The noise reduction version has now been updated to v3.5.

A number of bugs have been addressed for Canon RAW images including a fix for overcorrection of lens distortion when using RAW metadata based lens correction for Canon APS-C models when using full frame EF lenses, RAW metadata based lens correction for the Canon 5DS and 5DS R models is now supported and an issue with incorrect default white balance when processing Canon multi-exposure RAW images has been addressed.

Leica: M Monochrom (Typ 246).

March 30, 2015

The Iridient Developer 3.0.1 update is now available

This update includes some improvements to the new v3 noise reduction methods for Luminance and Luminance Grain Smoothness, particularly for images with high levels of speckle type noise in the deep shadows. The v3 Color noise reduction methods are now both applicable to monochrome conversions and are now applied prior to monochrome conversion. Use of Color noise reduction can greatly reduce noise levels for some types of monochrome conversions, especially those based on the RGB mixer methods.

An option has been to specify completely custom aspect ratios for cropping. The preview window display can now optionally use nearest neighbor interpolation when scaling above 100% which will give a slightly sharper preview rendering that is a closer match to the preview scaling used by some other photo editors and can help emphasize potential image artifacts.

A few bugs have been fixed including an issue with Extreme Highlight Recovery parameters for Fujifilm X-Trans cameras when shooting in the DR200% and DR400% modes, an issue with the "Custom Tone" monochrome conversion method and an issue with the Threshold adjustment for Unsharp Mask sharpening.

New RAW camera support includes:
Canon: 5DS and 5DS R.
Nikon: D7200.
Olympus: SH-2 and E-M5 Mark II now uses full 64 megapixel output for high resolution mode plus ORI format is now supported.
Samsung: NX500.
Panasonic: DMC-TZ71.

March 27, 2015

New versions of the Fujifilm X-Trans film style presets for Iridient Developer 3 are now available!

The color presets for APS-C models have been improved, especially for the extreme ends of the tonal range (dark shadows and bright highlights). The Vivid style in particular should show much better results in dark shadows and very bright colors in many cases should show more gradual transition to clipping and better saturation. These film emulation style presets are intended to produce a similar look to the X-Trans in-camera conversion styles for Classic Chrome, Standard/Provia, Soft/Astia, Vivid/Velvia, ProNegStd, ProNegHi, Monochrome, Monochrome+Ye, Monochrome+R, Monochrome+G and Sepia. These new Iridient Developer 3 presets can be downloaded here and a ReadMe file is included with installation instructions:
Film Style Preset Pack 5 for APS-C models (X100T, X-T1, X-E2, X-M1, X100S, X-E1 and X-Pro1) (9.6MB zip file).
Film Style Preset Pack 1 for compact models (XQ2, X30, XQ1 and X20) (9.8MB zip file).

March 16, 2015

New Fujifilm X-Trans APS-C film style presets have been posted for Iridient Developer 3!

These film emulation style presets are intended to produce a similar look to the X-Trans in-camera conversion styles for Classic Chrome, Standard/Provia, Soft/Astia, Vivid/Velvia, ProNegStd, ProNegHi, Monochrome, Monochrome+Ye, Monochrome+R, Monochrome+G and Sepia options plus an alternate "neutral" style that is not intended to mimic any of the camera settings but should provide a good colorimetric color match using standard color reference charts. These new Iridient Developer 3 presets can be downloaded here and a ReadMe file is included with installation instructions:
Iridient Developer Fujifilm X-Trans Preset Pack 4 (12.6MB zip file).

Iridient Developer 3!

I'm happy to announce the final release of Iridient Developer 3! This major new release contains many new features and significant improvements throughout. Some of the key new features include:

• Multiple new RAW processing (demosaic) algorithms for both Bayer and X-Trans sensors from super high detail to smoother, lower artifact rendering styles plus monochrome specific RAW conversions.
• Two great new sharpening methods, Iridient Reveal and High Pass, have been added to the already highly regarded sharpening routines. Iridient Reveal in beta form has already been getting rave reviews and combines some of the best aspects of several of my previous methods including aspects of both traditional edge contrast enhancement techniques and deconvolution.
• New options for adjusting overall tonality including an adaptive "Fill Light" style exposure adjustment and pixel neighborhood adaptive Highlights and Shadows adjustments.
• New Clarity adjustment for enhancing mid-tone contrast and reducing haze. This adjustment includes a number of variants for targeting different styles from a crisp, landscape type effect to softer, more portrait suited styles.
• New noise reduction methods provide much better results when combined with some of the new sharpening methods, especially when using very strong sharpening. At high levels some color smearing has been reduced while providing comparable or even better overall color noise reduction than the previous v2 methods. The new Luminance Grain Smoothness adjustment provides much better retention of overall image sharpness than the previous Luminance Smoothing method while being even more effective at reducing critical noise. Depending on specific adjustments used and image content, the new noise reduction can also be up to twice as fast as the previous v2 methods.
• Several all new monochrome mixer conversion methods which can radically reduce noise and provide even better image detail especially when using strong red biased filter type presets. Several options including direct access to low level RAW linear data as well as more perceptual, color managed mixing styles.
• Two new monochrome toning methods including Split Toning and Mono Tone plus many presets for common toning styles such as Sepia, Cyanotype, Platinum and more.
• New support for saving presets (or settings subsets) to disk which makes applying only specific adjustments, such as only sharpening, to images much easier. Also adds the ability to organize the Settings popup menu by sub-folders for grouping commonly used presets together.
• New dialog for copying/pasting settings subsets which makes choosing multiple adjustment options much easier than before when there was only a limited set of subsets available for selection by menu item.
• Greatly improved preview window approximation of various "Detail" processing stages (clarity, sharpening, noise reduction) when displaying at small scale sizes.
• Significant improvements have been made to many existing processing methods and controls as well including Brightness, Saturation, Contrast and Tone Curves.
• Greatly simplified color management setup and configuration. Still features all the low level color management control of prior versions (and more), but now much easier to configure for the most common use cases.

New RAW camera support includes:
Olympus: E-M5 Mark II now includes 40 megapixel high resolution mode as well!

Iridient Developer 3 takes a giant leap closer to final release! Iridient Developer 3.0 beta 5 is now available for download.

This update fixes a Fill Light bug introduced in the previous beta 4 version and a couple remaining issues specific to 10.10 (Yosemite). The documentation has now been fully updated for all new functionality and other changes in version 3. The new Clarity adjustment is now previewed on-screen at all scale (zoom) sizes and other processing on the Detail panel in many cases, particularly sharpening, now extends well below 50% as well. The preview approximation for sharpening at lower scale sizes been greatly refined as well.

This release now has full support for saving settings adjustment subsets (or "presets"), for example just sharpening adjustments, to disk and the settings popup menu can now also be organized by subfolder groupings. The copy/paste subset support has now also been extended to all of the new version 3 adjustments and features a new dialog picking and choosing what to copy rather than have a fairly limited choice of sub menus.

All camera defaults for RAW files have been transitioned over to my new "Iridient Reveal" sharpening method which has been getting rave reviews! Color management options have been cleaned up and re-arranged to provide a simpler interface for those that are less familiar with color management while still providing the same low level control over color management options as found in earlier versions for those who want to be able to set up color management exactly how they like it.

New RAW camera support includes:
Nikon: D5500
Olympus: E-M5 Mark II (with exception of 40/64MP multishot mode)
Panasonic: DMC-GF7, DMC-CM1 and DMC-TZ70 (aka DMC-ZS50)

This update fixes a bug introduced in version 2.4.1 where the menu items in the Settings popup menu for saved settings (presets) would be duplicated 4 times. This update also addresses a crashing bug when zooming in beyond 400% with some images and resolves a couple lingering issues with some non-RAW image metadata fields causing crashes when loading these images on Mac OS X 10.7.x systems.

June 5, 2014

The Iridient Developer 2.4.1 update has been released.

This update includes much improved hot and dead pixel filters which are now enabled by default for most all RAW camera models. The monochrome channel mixer conversion controls now have a "preserve luminosity" option to make interactive editing of channel mixer blends easier. Fixes a bug with image cropping and the Fujifilm X100S when shot at 1:1 aspect ratio and adds options for using common fixed aspect ratios when loading RAW images or ignoring the in-camera aspect ratio setting (as long as full RAW size info is also available). JPEG export speed has also been improved along with various other bug fixes and improvements.

New RAW camera support includes:
Sony: DSC-RX100M3 (RX100 III)

Additional Fujifilm X-Trans film style presets have been posted for Iridient Developer, including presets intended to produce a similar look to the in-camera Standard/Provia, Soft/Astia, Vivid/Velvia, ProNegStd, ProNegHi, Monochrome, Monochrome+Ye, Monochrome+R, Monochrome+G and Sepia options plus an alternate "neutral" style that is not intended to mimic any of the camera settings but should provide a good colorimetric color match using standard color reference charts. These new presets can be downloaded here:
Iridient Developer Fujifilm X-Trans Preset Pack 3 (18.2MB zip file).

The previous Fujifilm X-Trans style presets based on a dpreview.com forum user's (Scottie Wang) ICC profiles are also still available for download here:

Iridient Developer 2.4 update available for download now!

This update includes a number of great new features to provide better integration with other photo management tools, in particular Lightroom and Aperture. It is now much easier to use Iridient Developer as an external editor for both RAW and standard image editing tasks. New features include 'Find and Open RAW' for doing a local search for the RAW source of a standard image, the ability to overwrite standard images in place and support for automatically opening the RAW source image when sent a standard image for external editing. A new menu item has been added to quickly overwrite an image using the identical file name, image format, dpi and color profile quickly and this also allows overwriting the standard image source of RAW images as well.

More new features include: Support for exporting ZIP compressed TIFF images which allows for significantly reduced file size, especially at 16 bits/channel. PNG export now supports 4 different levels of compression for speed/file size optimization. Both TIFF and PNG export have both been updated for better performance and extended metadata field support. Now using the latest TIFF (v4.0.3) and PNG (v1.6.10) libraries for image export which eliminates a number of Mac specific dependencies and moves Iridient another step closer to running on other platforms. Tooltips have been returned to the thumbnail browser, now with even more image information than before including image size and exposure settings. View menu items have been added for keyboard shortcut based scrolling of the preview image which should fix some issues in previous versions where these keyboard shortcuts were not working when the main preview window did not have focus.

Fixed issue with UltraRez resizing method when using scale sizes smaller than 120%, fixed issue with some standard TIFF format images being mistaken as RAW files (particularly some TIFF files produced by Lightroom) and various other improvements as well!
