Radiant Photo is currently available as part of a
Black Friday special. A new update to v1.0.3.219 includes the following features and fixes:
WINDOWS only:Added support for a second raw decoder. This dramatically expands the number of file types and cameras that you can drag and drop into the Radiant Photo application
Raw Image Extension (free)
This unlocks support for many cameras, including many RAF and most CR3 files
HEIF Image Extensions (free)
Add support for the High-Efficiency Image Format files. This is needed to open HEIF or HEIC photos. Many iPhones shoot HEIC, and some cameras have recently added the HEIF format. You MUST also have the HEVC Video Extensions for this to work
HEVC Video Extensions (99¢)
This one requires a license fee. Apple pays it for its customers. Microsoft does not. This is needed to unlock HEIF and HEIC image support
Support for Windows Native Raw
Several new formats are now supported, including most CR3 and RAF files
Photoshop 16-bit Color Fidelity
Increased stability for batch exporting
The increased file format support and native Windows raw support have led to faster and more stable batch exports
Lightroom Classic Batch Export Improvements
Windows Lightroom Classic users can use their own User presets when they want to Batch export
Crisper text for Windows UI
This is especially useful if you’ve turned on monitor scaling
Both WINDOWS and MACOS:Register Radiant Photo as a supported app for CR3 and HEIC files
You can now open CR3 and HEIC files with Radiant Photo on both macOS and Windows
Allow for drag and drop for all file types. You can easily drop them in the canvas to open several files at once
