IridientDeveloper_550.dmg
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

Improved:

- Updated DNG color and white balance default metadata to match up with the latest Adobe DNG Converter 18.3.2 release values

Fixed:

- Fixed issue with HiFi monochrome RAW demosaic processing that could show a 1-2 pixel false color border
- Fixed issue with automatic lens chromatic aberration correction profiles being applied when using new HiFi monochrome demosaic methods which could introduce color fringe. Lens chromatic aberration is now disabled if HiFi monochrome RAW demosaic processing is being used
- Monochrome DNG files using JPEG XL compression, typically from Iridient Transformer applications, now load properly
