Brian Griffith has released Version 2.1.1 of Iridient Developer, his critically acclaimed image processing software for Mac OS X. This release features all-new, native demosaic processing for the Fuji X-Trans (X-Pro1, X-E1, X100S and X20) cameras, in addition to the existing support for these cameras using either Apple's RAW libraries or Adobe DNG (linear) format conversion. The new demosaic method provides improved fine detail rendering, even better sharpness and other advantages over Apple's conversion. Version 2.1.1 also includes a number of improvements to preview drawing for Retina displays, better handling of touch gestures for preview scrolling on older laptops and other bug fixes, adds support for 14 new cameras, and greatly reduces the memory usage of the new noise reduction methods introduced in Version 2.1.

Iridient Press Release

Iridient Digital releases Iridient Developer 2.1.1 for Mac OS X

Pacific Grove, CA, June 25, 2013 -- Iridient Digital, Inc. has released Iridient Developer 2.1.1, an update to our photo processing software for Mac OS X.

The Iridient Developer 2.1.1 update can now be downloaded here:
http://www.iridientdigital.com/products/rawdeveloper_download.html

This release features all new, native demosaic processing for the Fuji X-Trans (X-Pro1, X-E1, X100S and X20) cameras! This is in addition to the existing support for these cameras using either Apple's RAW libraries or Adobe DNG (linear) format conversion. The new demosaic method provides improved fine detail rendering, even better sharpness and other advantages over Apple's conversion. That said the Apple conversion still offers good results and is still available for an alternate conversion method.

This update greatly reduces (by 25%) the memory usage of the new noise reduction methods introduced in version 2.1. This should help boost performance on older systems with lower amounts of RAM and/or slower memory access speeds.

This release also includes a number of improvements to preview drawing for Retina displays, better handling of touch gestures for preview scrolling on older laptops and other bug fixes.

Support has been added for 14 new RAW cameras, plus native support for Fuji X-Trans models:

Canon: EOS 1D-C
Olympus: E-P5 and E-PL6
Panasonic: DMC-LF1
Pentax: K-50 and K-500
Samsung: NX300, NX2000 and NX1100
Fuji: X-Pro1, X-E1, X20 and X100S now natively supported by new demosaic
process in addition to existing support using Apple RAW libraries.
Leica: X Vario (Typ 107)
Hasselblad: H5D-60
Blackmagic Design: Blackmagic Cinema Camera
Ikonoskop: A-Cam dII and A-Cam dII Panchromatic
