Iridient Developer for Mac is a powerful RAW image conversion application designed and optimized specifically for macOS.

The app gives advanced photographers total control over their digital photographs, yet still provides easy drag and drop batch conversion and access to basic adjustments for the casual user.

Thanks in part to Dave Coffin's work on the open source RAW decoding program dcraw, Iridient Developer supports RAW image formats from over 620 digital camera models!

Note that although I use some portions of dcraw for the initial loading and decoding of some RAW image data formats, the entire image processing pipeline is completely unique to Iridient Developer for macOS including the core RAW processing (demosaicing) algorithms used, all color management, all other exposure, color and monochrome processing adjustments, sharpening, noise reduction, lens corrections and final file format conversion.

How to Use

Launch the app and load RAW images for editing

Use the toolbar to apply sharpening and noise reduction

Adjust tone, color, and lens correction settings

Export final images in preferred format and resolution
