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.

Note: All exported images will be watermarked.

- Fixed pixel shift processing support for Sony RAW files created by some recent firmware updates that change metadata values for these files
- Fixed automatic chromatic aberration correction for some images from the Fujifim X100VI (and earlier X100 variants) which would result in some color fringe appearing along the edge of the corrected image

- Fixed crashes when using the Adobe lens correction profile (LCP) for the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f2
