Iridient Developer 3.0.2 Released
6 May 2015
Iridient Developer 3.0.2 has been released "with some great improvements to the recently introduced v3 noise reduction methods (now at v3.5), support for all the latest Raw camera models and a number of bug fixes," according to Iridient Digital's Brian Griffith.
Raw camera support has been added for the Canon 760D/T6s/8000D/750D/T6i/X8i/M3, Nikon 1 J5, Olympus TG-4/Stylus 1s and Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
Both Luminance and Color noise reduction adjustments have been improved, "especially when strongly increasing shadow brightness and with high ISO images," Griffith said. Maximum noise reduction has also been boosted for smoother, lower noise output when set to high levels while still retaining good detail and color fidelity.

Iridient Developer 3.0.2 Update Released
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. -- Iridient Digital has released Iridient Developer 3.0.2, an update to the critically acclaimed Raw conversion and photo processing software for Mac OS X.
The Iridient Developer 3.0.2 update can be downloaded here: http://www.iridientdigital.com/products/iridientdeveloper_download.html
This update includes further improvements to the v3 noise reduction introduced in version 3. Both Luminance and Color noise reduction adjustments in particular are now much more effective with some forms of noise, especially when strongly increasing shadow brightness and with high ISO images. The maximum strength of noise reduction has also been increased to give smoother, lower noise output when set to high levels while still retaining good detail and color fidelity. The noise reduction version has now been updated to v3.5.
A number of bugs have been addressed for Canon Raw images including a fix for overcorrection of lens distortion when using Raw metadatabased lens correction for Canon APS-C models when using full frame EF lenses, Raw metadatabased lens correction for the Canon 5DS and 5DS R models is now supported and an issue with incorrect default white balance when processing Canon multi-exposure Raw images has been addressed.
This release now supports the Samsung NX500 "normal" lossy mode Raw Raw compression in addition to previous support for lossless compressed Raw images from this camera. Spotlight tags are now properly saved when exporting images and support for specifying Spotlight tags has been added to the Batch processing window. A new option to append Spotlight tags as XMP Keyword metadata has also been added.
New Raw camera support includes:
- Canon: EOS 760D (Rebel T6s, 8000D), EOS 750D (Rebel T6i, Kiss X8i) and EOS M3
- Nikon: 1 J5
- Olympus: TG-4 and Stylus 1s
