All are processed in a special 32 bits/channel floating point color space to avoid color artifacts and provide amazing detail. Iridient Developer offers SIX advanced sharpening methods, including 'Iridient Reveal', a 'super' sharpener utilizing aspects of both state of the art edge enhancement techniques and deconvolution, traditional unsharp masking, high pass, difference of gaussians, a unique 'hybrid' sharpening algorithm and an advanced Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution based method.

Most RAW image formats support 3 different RAW processing (demosaic) options including a high detail method (generally the default), plus a smoother, lower artifact 'Soft Look' option and finally support for RAW conversion based on Apple's Mac OS X RAW image libraries.Īdvanced Sharpening and Noise Reduction Algorithms All image processing operations are performed at 16 bits per channel or greater. Iridient Developer is often noted for its exceptional rendering of micro-detail while retaining a pleasing, natural, 'film like' output with minimal digital artifacts and smooth color gradations.

The high quality RAW image processing (demosaicing) alogorithms unique to Iridient Developer give excellent detail with minimal demosaicing artifacts. Originally developed as a RAW image processing tool, Iridient Developer now supports high quality color editing, monochrome conversions, sharpening and noise reduction on regular images as well! You can now process most any normal image format (JPEG, TIFF, PNG and more) plus a couple high dynamic range (HDR) formats (OpenEXR and Radiance) too. High Quality, High Bit Depth (16 and 32 bits/channel) Image Processing for RAW and non-RAW Image Formats.

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 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. Iridient Developer 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.
