Again, settings can be saved and recalled later Developer also supports LCP files – lens correction profile – as generated by Adobe’s profiler and available to download through shared libraries via that same application. The lens profile correction is quite straightforward. Iridient allows complex variations at this stage and during processing. This set of adjustments – outside of baseline exposure, white and black levels, appear only to apply to Bayer sensors, but can be used to visually approximate the behaviour of different film types, then be saved as a preset.Ĭurves can also be applied to the raw file preset, seen here is the default for the Sigma DP2M.
These can be saved, along with adjustments from the other panels, as presets to be reused for a particular camera or shoot. Further controls are available behind the buttons at the top:įor detailed control over how the raw file is interpreted, for special effects or subtle corrections, Developer allows control of RGB offset values. Iridient’s process is very straightforward – it’s not as free form as Camera Raw or Lightroom might feel, but it offers a logical progression from raw file to output file, and greater control over that processing.Īs you can see, the input panel already allows preset parameters and subtle control over colour temperature, tint and shadow/highlight recovery. It makes adjusting sharpening and noise reduction considerably easier as well, as adjustments are shown in real time. Zooming in at 100% to view detail in the image is very fast – a much quicker process than Sigma Photo Pro’s two-step method of rendering then zooming.
The process panel – above, showing curves and the options available – is your workflow, and has a fixed, natural ‘development’ process. The histogram can be resized and will display per channel, overall and RGB information. With windows for operations and information, it’s easy to build a layout that suits your own preferences. This contributes to rapid load and response times, even when generating the filmstrip-style previews used when working with a folder, rather than individual image.

2.1 has also included a new system of noise reduction with 3 different approaches and auto level adjustment based on ISO, a new channel mixer Monochrome mode, black point compensation, additional colour management options via LittleCMS and for unsupported cameras, use of Apple’s own raw support.Ī clean and simple user interface makes full use of Apple’s provided framework, rather than trying to force a bespoke identity onto the application. Version 2’s release made Iridient Raw Developer the first third party application to support the Sigma SD1 and compatibility with subsequent models has been added rapidly, 2.01 adding the DP3 Merrill before the camera had even shipped to most users, and now 2.1 updates support further improvements in Sigma and other camera processing.

Version 2 was released in 2013 – impressive staying power for any software package – with support for Sigma’s unique format being actively developed and improved since since 2007. Rather than limiting the options a user has to present a flattering or ‘corporate’ idea of what a file should look like, it’s possible to have detailed control over noise, colour and sharpening and extract the best detail from an image for the intended output.

Iridient Digital’s raw developer has been available since 2004 as a Mac OS X application targeting power users. Iridient’s application does not provide the catalogue and organisational power of Aperture and Lightroom, rather, it offers a nuts & bolts approach to editing raw files from almost any camera, with incredible control over curves and interpretation of the data alongside the valuable ability to crop, freely rotate and export files at any size in a variety of formats including batch processing. Richard Kilpatrick takes a look at Iridient’s Raw developer.

Having introduced features like the X3 Fill Light that took full advantage of the Foveon’s remarkable dynamic range, SPP has evolved slowly and whilst it remains a powerful tool for processing the X3F files produced by the Direct Image Sensor (and until the release of Iridient’s Raw developer, the only option for the high resolution 46MP files captured by the SD1 and Merrill series cameras) it is limited compared to third-party offerings available to other camera users. Sigma’s own software, Sigma Photo Pro, has been shipped with every camera Sigma has produced since the SD9 over a decade ago.
