Do you know if it can open Sigma FX3 files from a DP2 Quattro ?
Thanks.
-
The complete list of supported cameras is here:
http://www.iridientdigital.com/products/rawdeveloper_cameras.html
As far as I can see the Sigma DP" Quattro is not (yet?) supported.
-
Thank you.
I don't see it on the list either.
But I couldn't help hoping.

Iridient Developer reads DNG files, so you might convert to that format if possible.

None of the Sigma Merril cameras are presently supported by Adobe DNG Converter, to the best of my knowledge.
-
Is it me or is there an unbelievable level of detail and low noise in the conversions that is a level above anything previously available?
-
You are not alone. :)

I have to think WTF is Adobe thinking? It's like they have the wool pulled over everybody's eyes.

Adobe is thinking about the bigger picture...

Agreed. I went back and tried reprocessing a bunch of pics that I had used RawTherapee for (specifically for sharpening and noise reduction) and the results from Iridient 3 are amazing. Extra amazing, since it was so easy to achieve! ;)
Nice work Iridient!
(PS: I have noticed 1 or 2 strange artifacts when using the Texture/Micro Detail setting...every now and then I get a few "hot pixels" that appear out of nowhere...setting this to 0 seems to take care of it, but it's strange artifacting nonetheless)
thx--

Been a big fan since the old Raw Developer days dating back to 2006.

Iridient Developper 3 is probably best in class at extracting detail while controlling noise.
The full size jpg image below was shot with a D810 and Otus 55mm f1.4 at... f1.4 (this is such an amazing lens).

I went for a very crisp rendering, some may prefer something a bit softer. This works really well in print.

Does anybody know where I might fine some commentary or information on working Iridient Developer into an existing Lightroom/Photoshop/Lightroom workflow?
Thanks in advance.

The only logical way I can think of is to use ID to render the raw, bring it into Photoshop if necessary and if you must include LR, it would only be for cataloging, printing the rendered data from ID. You've got a raw and one or more raw converters so pick the converter you prefer and move on.

google for the win

Big help. Thanks!
-
Looking on the net suggests that ID is a good processor for Fuji sensors. I don't use Fuji, so I never looked further.
This http://www.nomadlens.com/raw-converters-comparison comparison ranks Iridient developer alongside photo ninja, but behind DXO and Capture One. But "It is the clear winner in this review when it comes to extracting the maximum amount of detail from an image".
I haven't seen a way of using the Lightroom lens correction profiles with Iridient developer. Is that possible? It's such ancillary features, including local adjustments, and the easy workflow that keeps Lightroom in business, much as I would like the additional detail.

Thanks, I was not aware this could be done!

How would your image look if it weren't blown out, in regard to detail and noise?

I'm wondering if there are any plans to support layers or some notion of local adjustments via brushed or gradient masks? These capabilities would be a great addition to ID.
Also, would it be possible to add a means to toggle on/off any of the adjustments individually? I find this very helpful to better visualize the delta an adjustment creates on the image. In the same vein, a means to show original would be helpful too.
My last request would be auto cropping for any image that is rotated ;)
Ps I own a license and version 3 is awesome...and would be more awesome with a few of the above suggestions.
Thanks for all your hard work on this app

Iridient users - how well does this run on an older computer? I have a 2010 MacBookPro, running on 10.6.8.

define "well" - for example I consider "well" when it runs (and it does) in a virtual machine (OSX in PC/Win/VmWare) - it is not using GPU and virtual machine with 2.5GB "RAM" (that is for the everything) is enough... CPU though might be a different matter - the worst CPU where I run it was i7-2720QM for example on my prev. notebook - but then I am not a wedding photog and I don't convert thousands photos a day.
-
I have 8G RAM and a duo i7 with a good GPU as of mid 2010. I don't need to do huge numbers. If it runs as well as LR4 on my machine, that's good enough. Sigma Photo Pro - that gets to be aggravatingly slow.
-
All the images in this new Flickr album (https://www.flickr.com/photos/bernardlanguillier/sets/72157650498105903) were converted with Iridient 3.02.
It works beautifully!

I always smile a little when I download the latest version of the application and it is a ~25MB application package, compared to Lightroom's taking up 1.5GB on my hard drive.
There's a lot going on in that efficient application, and it stills runs flawlessly on my 2011 MacBook Pro, 8GB RAM, OS X 10.9.

you need to compare with ACR distribution, not with LR... or even with RPP.
-
RPP is also 26MB (at least on my machine). It is my reference converter.
ACR is useless unless you have ... Photoshop! - PhotoshopCC2014 is 1.4 GB. (The CC ACR plug in is 55MB).
I will still smile when I download Iridient (and RPP).

or Bridge - but that is just because Adobe checks that those are present, that's it - not because ACR uses it really
-
or Bridge ....
787MB!

Iridient does not support files of Sigma Quattro.
He stopped to the Merrill.
The developer told me, already more than a year ago, that he was not going to venture into another very very difficult adventure, having long suffered with other cameras of Sigma and his Foveon.
He also said to have other priorities.
It seems to be adamant on the decision and does not listen prayers to do it.
I can understand it.

if he does not wish to do this certainly you can understand - he is a one man for profit operation and from that perspective it is more wise to spend time & effort elsewhere - for example make Irididient work natively on PC/Win, instead of running OSX in VmWare on PC/Win...
-
Yes, and these are pretty much the things he told me ...

These look vg, although I think that flickr applies sharpening of its own, so that even with chrome, which seems to add a bit of blurring, the net effect is an oversharpened look.
