Both the Luminance and Color noise reduction adjustments in particular are now much more effective with some forms of noise, especially in deep shadows and when strongly increasing exposure. The maximum strength of noise reduction has also been increased to give smoother, lower noise output when set to higher levels while still retaining good detail and color fidelity. The noise reduction version is now v3.5.
  • The baseline exposure levels for Pentax K-S1 and K-S2 PEF format images has been changed. The default exposure levels for PEF and DNG should now match much more closely for these models.
  • When copyright metadata is present in the original image the XMP copyrighted flag is now also set.
  • The original embedded ICC profile name for standard format images is now displayed in the Input Profile menu.
  • PNG image format libraries (libpng) updated to version 1.6.17.

  • New Features:
  • New option to specify custom aspect ratio contraints for cropping.
  • A new preview display option has been added to the Preferences dialog and View menus to allow use of nearest neighbor interpolation when viewing the image in the preview window at greater than 100% scale. Nearest neighbor will produce a slightly sharper preview appearance and some prefer it for its ability to emphasize artifacts that may be produced by some processing, such as sharpening. The smoother Lanczos based method used in prior versions will tend to better match the final upscaled output when using higher quality interpolation methods on export.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Canon 5DS R and 5DS.

  • Improvements made to the v3 Luminance and Luminance Grain Smoothness noise reduction processing, particularly for images that have very high incidence of speckle type noise in the deep shadows.
  • The v3 Color and Color Aliasing noise reduction filters are now applicable to to monochrome processing and applied prior to monochrome conversion. In some cases use of Color noise reduction can give radically reduced noise levels with monochrome conversions, especially those based on RGB channel mixers.
  • Now supports the full 64 megapixel output for high resolution mode ORF images from the Olympus E-M5 Mark II. Previously high resolution mode RAW images were automatically downsized images to match the 40 megapixel output used by the camera for its JPEG conversions.
  • Decreased the minimum scale size for preview display to 1% from the previous minimum of 5% which allows extremely large images to be viewed at smaller sizes and on smaller monitors more easily.
  • LittleCMS color management libraries updated to version 2.7.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed some of the Extreme Highlight Recovery parameters for Fujifilm X-Trans 200% and 400% DR mode images. Extreme Highlight Recovery when set to levels above 25 should now work much better with images shot in one of the extended DR modes.
  • Fixed an issue with the "Custom Tone" monochrome conversion method which would result in strongly overexposed output.
  • Fixed an issue with the Threshold adjustment option in the Unsharp Mask sharpening method which resulted in very dark (mostly black) output if the Threshold was set above zero.

New in Iridient Developer 3.0.0 (Mar 3, 2015)

  • New Features:
  • New noise reduction processing for luminance and color. The new noise reduction along with previous 3.0 beta updates to RAW processing, clarity and sharpening completes a major overhaul the core image processing for version 3.0 and significantly improves Iridient Developer's already excellent image quality, especially for RAW format images.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Olympus E-M5 Mark II shot in 40 megapixel high resolution, supersampled mode.
  • Improvements:
  • Additional improvements have been made for the preview rendering approximation at smaller scale sizes for sharpening, noise reduction and clarity adjustments on the Detail panel. Noise reduction processing with the new v3 process will extend now below 50% scale.
  • Refinements have been made to the new Iridient Reveal sharpening method which reduces the appearance of speckle noise, in the shadows especially, when using very strong sharpening levels.
  • Improved RAW black level handling for many Panasonic models.
  • Improved RAW black level handling for many Samsung NX models.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes compatibility issue with Mac OS X 10.6 systems.
  • Fixes image preview centering issue when resizing the image window on Mac OS X 10.6 systems.
  • Fixes issue with color noise reduction where some settings could result in grid patterns appearing when applying agressive post RAW conversion channel mixer adjustments in Photoshop.
  • Fixes an issue with automatic loading of older "rdsf" format image settings sidecars.
  • Fixes an issue with the automatic loading of embedded camera tone curves from Leaf MOS format images.
  • Fixes an issue loading some RAW images from the Samsung NX1 which use 12 bits/channel mode.
  • Fixes an issue where exported Pentax 645Z TIFF images would be mis-identified as RAW format when reloading into Iridient Developer.
  • Fixes an issue with the "preserve luminosity" option for the monochrome channel mixers where some value combinations could give poor or all black or all white output.

New in Iridient Developer 3.0.0 Beta 5 (Feb 13, 2015)

  • New Features:
  • Added support for saving settings subsets to disk (aka "presets") which makes it easy to save and apply only specific adjustments, for example just sharpening, without changing other image adjustments and without having to go through a more complicated copy/paste operation.
  • Now supports grouping settings files and presets into subfolders in the Settings window popup menu.
  • Iridient Developer 3 is now using new file extensions for it's settings files (".idsf") and presets (".idpre") to better help distinguish the newer settings from the older settings files which used ".rdsf". Internally they are for the most part identical and all share the same XML text format. Iridient Developer 3 can open all of them. Iridient Developer 2 will not support the preset (".idpre") files which contain just subsets of the full settings and won't support some of the new adjustment options added in version 3.
  • New dialog for saving settings and presets which allows for selection of just certain adjustments and the ability to create subfolders for grouping settings and preset files.
  • Clarity and sharpening processing stages now previewed at all image preview scale (zoom) sizes. Sharpening preview estimates at smaller scale sizes around 50% are also much improved.
  • I have now fully transitioned to a new super wide gamut (color range) internal RGB color space for some operations which is based on the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) color primaries. This is a bit wider and more specifically designed for use with data from modern digital sensors in mind. My previous internal RGB space which was based on ProPhoto primaries that are also very wide gamut, but primarily designed many years ago primarily for film based workflows.
  • The "Working Profile" popup menu has been moved to the Curves tab panel and relabeled "RGB Curves Color Space" as this option is now only applicable to the RGB curves adjustments.
  • New Help button added to the Settings window to make the Help documentation more easily accessible. A keyboard shortcut (command+control+?) has now been added to jump directly to information on many of the adjustments in the Settings window.
  • All of the RGB based monochrome conversion methods have now been migrated over to a new super wide gamut (color range) internal RGB color space which should help improve dynamic range in some cases and provide a more consistent user experience with these adjustments. Previously the RGB based monochrome conversions were applied in the user specified "working space" and this could result in varying results depending on the chosen color space.
  • Two all new "v3" monochrome mixer conversion options on the Mono tab panel that feature some amazing new improvements to both noise levels and apparent detail, especially for some red channel heavy mixes! Many of these same improvements have been applied to the standard "Channel Mixer" as well.
  • New Preferences dialog option to use the same scale (zoom) and position for all images. With this option enabled the scale and position remains the same when switching from image to image rather than each image preserving its own specific scale and positioning information.
  • Output color space (ICC profile) is now specified alongside the image file format in the Save and Batch dialogs!
  • Removed most all color management configuration options from individual image settings and relocated to more sensible locations including the Preferences dialog, the Save/Batch windows and the Histogram window. These changes hopefully should make it much easier to manage color management settings and while being much more flexible than the old global "override" preferences option.
  • Added basic preset choices (sepia, cyanotype, platinum, etc) to the Mono tab panels Toning popup menu.
  • Output color space (ICC profile) is now specified alongside the image file format in the Save and Batch dialogs!
  • Support added for RAW images from the Nikon D5500.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Olympus E-M5 Mark II (with exception of 40/64MP multishot mode).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Panasonic DMC-GF7, DMC-CM1 and DMC-TZ70 (aka DMC-ZS50).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Fujifilm X-A2 and XQ2.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Samsung NX1.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Pentax K-S2.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Nokia Lumia 930.
  • Improvements:
  • The documentation (Apple Help) has now been fully updated for all new version 3 adjustments and changes.
  • I have switched the RAW camera defaults for all models to the new Iridient Reveal sharpening method (was mostly using Hybrid Sharpen in the past).
  • I have switched the RGB Curves Color Spaces for all camera defaults to the Iridient Internal RGB spaces (base on ACES plus sRGB tone curve). I was using an inconsistent mix of sRGB, AdobeRGB, MelissaRGB and ProPhoto in the past depending on camera model. Without any RGB curve edits this change has no impact, but this should help make many user's experience with editing RGB curves more consistent going forward.
  • Copy/paste of settings subsets (command+option+C) has now been updated with an all new dialog, instead of sub menus, to make it easier pick the adjustment(s) you want to copy. All new processing adjustments added in version 3 are now also available for copy/paste.
  • Further refinements to the new v3 Saturation adjustment.
  • A note regarding some of the more commonly used keyboard shortcuts has been added to the Curves and Camera Curves panels.
  • Text readout fields for the tone curves panels has been updated to include more precise floating point values.
  • The tone curve's keyboard increments (arrows) have been adjusted to better round to whole or even partial values.
  • Greatly reduced memory usage for Clarity by half! Which should help improve performance for this processing too.
  • Link to the online version of the Apple Help documentation added to the Help file.
  • Updated to latest PNG image format libraries (v1.6.16).
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with previous beta 4 where Fill Light adjustment would not be active without some other Exp panel settings also being non-zero.
  • Fixed source of some random crashing issues on Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
  • Fixed some text clipping issues in the Save dialog on 10.10 (Yosemite).
  • When resizing the image preview window the scroll location no longer jumps to the bottom left corner on recent versions of Mac OS X.
  • Fixed issue on 10.10 (Yosemite) where use of Apple RAW conversion could result in a mostly black image with some camera models.

New in Iridient Developer 3.0.0 Beta 4 (Dec 11, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • New Clarity adjustment added to Detail pane. Includes four different variations for improving mid-tone contrast and removing haze.
  • New Iridient Reveal sharpening method added to the Detail pane. This new method combines some of the best aspects of my current deconvolution, unsharp mask and high pass sharpening methods into one "super" sharpener.
  • New High Pass sharpening method added to Detail pane.
  • New Edge Masking adjustment now available for all sharpening methods on the Detail pane.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Sony ILCE-7M2 (A7 II).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Pentax K-S1 and Q-S1.
  • Improvements:
  • The adjustment text fields now support entry of the negative (minus, dash) key prior to number entry! Previously to enter a negative value a valid number had to be present in the text field before the minus key could be typed, otherwise the minus key would be ignored.
  • Improved automatic chromatic aberration correction alogorithm.
  • Rearranged the order of some sliders on the Exp pane to better highlights/shadows adjustments together.
  • Updated to latest PNG image format libraries (v1.6.15).
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed issue with new v3 RAW processing methods incorrectly processing a few border pixels along the right edge of the image.
  • Fixed issue with exporting RAW images at 16 bits/channel when using cropping, scaling and/or rotation adjustments which could result in partially black or all black output.
  • Fixed issue with overzealous hot/dead pixel filters particularly with some RAW images shot using extended ISO settings such as ISO 50 or 64 on some cameras.
  • Fixed issue with the RL Deconvolution Iterations text field not allowing keyboard entry of the full value range available using the slider (was clipping at 30 even though the slider permitted values as high as 50).
  • Fixed an issue with the loading of TIFF files created by some programs from Olympus ORF images where the TIFF files could be mis-identified as RAW format would not load correctly.

New in Iridient Developer 3.0.0 Beta 3 (Oct 30, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • New core RAW processing (demosaic) methods for Bayer and X-Trans sensors. There are now 4 (3 for X-Trans) alternate color and 3 monochrome RAW processing methods in addition to the prior (v2) methods available in earlier versions of Iridient Developer.
  • All new Vibrance adjustment. Requires Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later.
  • New v3 Saturation adjustment method.
  • Brightness Shadows/Midtones/Highlights adjustments have been reworked to automatically take advantage of existing Highlight Recovery processing and full dynamic range of RAW image data. The v3 version of these controls should better preserve contrast and take better advantage of RAW dynamic range in the deep shadows and extreme highlights.
  • Contrast adjustment has been refined to use a S curve style adjustment that preserves the full dynamic range of the RAW image data and a "saturation neutral" option has been added as well. The prior linear contrast adjustment continues to be available through a popup menu.
  • All new neighborhood adaptive Shadows/Highlights adjustments. Requires Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later.
  • All new Fill Light adjustment. Similar to adjusting Exposure/Brightness, but use non-linear tone mapping to better retain maximum highlight levels and overall dynamic range.
  • Added Toning to the Mono tab pane (these can be used with color conversions too, though primarily targeted for monocrhome work). All new mono tone and split toning methods plus the prior 3 zone warm/cool toning has been separated out from use of this adjustment for white balance so it's use with monochrome is more obvious.
  • Settings sidecar files can now be stored in a "Iridient Developer Settings" subfolder alongside the original images in addition to previous the 3 storage location options (Application Support folder, custom folder location or as sidecars). See Preferences for setting these options.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Canon 7D Mark II, PowerShot G7 X and PowerShot SX60 HS.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Nikon D750.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Sony ILCE-5100 and ILCE-QX1.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Olympus E-PL7.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Fujifilm X100T and X30.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Panasonic DMC-GM5 and DMC-LX100.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Leica S-E (Typ 006), X-E (Typ 102), X (Type 113), M-P (Typ 240), V-LUX (Typ 114) and D-LUX (Typ 109).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Leaf Credo 50.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Kodak PixPro S-1.
  • Improvements:
  • Refined major portions of the core RAW image processing pipeline, adjustments effected include Brightness, Contrast and Saturation. All the adjustments now have popup menus to provide backwards compatibility with edits made in prior versions of Iridient (RAW) Developer.
  • Settings window control panes have been re-organized to better group common adjustments together. The "Adj" tab pane has been eliminated and its adjustments moved to other panes (Exp, Color, Mono).
  • Exposure adjustment range has been extended to -5EV to +5EV range.
  • All new ultra high resolution (1024x1024) app icon more inline with the modern era "flat circle" icon style replaces my low res, hand drawn developing tray icon dating way back to 2004.
  • Should hopefully remove every last remaining mention of the old "RAW Developer" product name from the user interface.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes user interface issues with Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), mostly with text clipping, due to changes to the system font and control sizes introduced with this new release of Mac OS X.
  • Fixes issues with in-app, "Buy Now" purchase window.

New in Iridient Developer 2.4.4 (Jul 25, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • Support added for RAW images from the Samsung NX3000.
  • Support added for automatic lens corrections for distortion and chromatic aberration based on RAW lens correction metadata for all Samsung NX mirrorless models.
  • Improvements:
  • Updated Canon lens ID database with newer lens models and improved identification of 3rd party lenses that may share the same ID values.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with loading uncompressed 12 bit/ch NEF with some older Nikon models (D200, D2H, etc) introduced in the 2.4.3 update when fixing uncompressed 12 bit/ch support for the most recent Nikon models.
  • The ICC output profile is now always properly embedded in exported JPEG format images.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause crashes when working with Fujifilm F600EXR RAF images shot in EXR HR mode (likely impacts other EXR compact models too).

New in Iridient Developer 2.4.3 (Jul 11, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • Support added for RAW images from the Nikon D810 and 1 S2.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Sony ILCE-7S (A7S).

  • Added a lens profile option to use camera on/off settings for distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting corrections if available in RAW metadata.
  • Improvements:
  • The ISO text fields in the image preview and Photo Info windows now properly display ISO values above 51200.
  • Improved camera black level handling for the Fujifilm X100, X-A1 and other Bayer sensor based models.
  • Improved camera black level handling for the Sony RX100 (I, II and III) and RX10 models.
  • Fined tuned automatic lens correction parameters for Sony RX100 (I, II and III), A7, A7R and A7S models.
  • Improvements made to default camera tone curves and default color profiles for most recent Sony models to better match camera standard style (A7/A7R/A7S, RX1(R), RX100(II,III), RX10, A99, A77(II), NEX-7, NEX-6, NEX-5T, NEX-5R, A65, A58).
  • Updated to latest PNG libraries (v1.6.12).
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed issue with date metadata where this information would fail to be passed through when both the seconds and nanoseconds were exactly zero when saving to TIFF, PNG or JPEG format.
  • Nikon uncompressed 12 bits/channel RAW format images from recent models (D4S) now load properly.
  • Fixed issue with the white balance dropper when using a DNG Camera Profile with DNG format images (Leica M, etc) where the dropper tool would stop working after using the dropper and then changing the temperature or tint sliders and then trying to use the dropper again. White balance values would update, but the image preview would not.
  • Fixed issues with color bands appearing at the top and bottom or crashes when loading Pentax Q7 RAW images shot with the 03 FishEye lens. Images shot with the 03 FishEye lens are now properly cropped and scaled to match the camera JPEG output as well.

New in Iridient Developer 2.4.2 (Jun 12, 2014)

  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes an issue introduced in version 2.4.1 where menu items in the Settings popup menu for saved settings (presets) would be duplicated 4 times.

  • Support added for RAW images from the Sony RX100 III.
  • Additional custom RAW aspect ratio options added for manufacturer's full image size (if full size is available in RAW metadata) and fixed aspect ratio options of 2.35, 1.85, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4 and 1:1.
  • New image resizing options added for "do not exceed" and "fit within".
  • Support added for use of ICC device link type profiles as Input Profiles as long as the device link output space is LAB, XYZ or RGB. If the device link is RGB the Output Profile must be set to the RGB color space used for the device link profile for proper color matching.
  • Preserve luminosity option added to the monochrome channel mixers, makes interactive adjustment of color blend much, much easier.
  • Improvements:
  • Major improvements made to the hot/dead pixel filters in both quality and speed. Added new "auto" option which is now the default for all RAW images. Should resolve issues with dead pixels appearing on the Panasonic GH4 and other models that may lack in-camera re-mapping of hot/dead pixels or where the in-camera filtering may not be completely effective. Slider controls have also been rearranged so that they increase in strength from left to right just like all of the other noise reduction controls, previously these sliders oddly increased in strength from right to left.
  • Support added for ICC profiles that have only Unicode names and lack ASCII or Mac encoding description fields.
  • "Load RAW images only" option is now ignored when receiving standards images from other programs while using the "Find and Load RAW..." option.
  • Added a "Do not show this warning again" opt-out option to the file overwrite warning dialog.
  • When batch processing image loading errors are now grouped into a single error dialog.
  • Unsupported image dialog is no longer displayed for standard image formats when the "Load RAW images only" option is enabled.
  • Improved JPEG export speed, now using very latest libjpeg-turbo 1.3.1 libraries for JPEG support.
  • Support added for DNG v1.4 default user crop metadata.
  • Application support folder name has now been changed to "Iridient Developer" to better reflect current application name, old "RAW Developer" application support folder contents will be copied over to new location automatically.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fix for potential crashes on Mac OS X 10.7 with images containing some metadata fields.
  • Fixed an issue introduced in version 2.4 where the monochrome mixer controls were initially visible when the LAB Lightness option was selected. These controls which are not applicable to the Lightness monochrome conversion are now properly hidden.
  • Fixed an issue with the caching of some linear format DNG images from BetterLight scanning backs. Which would result in corrupt image display when reloading images from the cache.
  • Fixed issue with loading Fujifilm X100S images shot with the in-camera 1:1 aspect ratio option.
  • Fixed issue with hot pixel filter where the strongest setting could sometimes introduce bad pixels where there were none before.

New in Iridient Developer 2.4.0 (May 8, 2014)

  • New Features:
  • Support added for RAW images from the Canon G1 X Mark II and EOS 1200D (T5, Kiss X70).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Panasonic DMC-GH4.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Nikon 1 V3 and 1 J4.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Sony ILCA-77M2 (A77 II).
  • Support added for RAW images from the Samsung NX mini.
  • Support added for RAW images from the Leica T (Typ 701).
  • New Find and Open RAW menu item provides an easy way to do a simple search for a source RAW image in the current or parent folder using a basic file name pattern match.
  • Added a Preference option to always attempt to find and open RAW source images for any standard image (JPEG, TIFF, PNG or PSD) open events such as when using Iridient Developer as an external editor for other software such as Lightroom or Aperture.
  • Now allows overwriting standard format images (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, etc) on save. Allows for much easier use as an external editor with some programs.
  • Added a Process Image and Overwrite... menu item to quickly save and overwrite the standard foramt images using the same name, image format, dpi and color profile. It can also be used with RAW images that have been opened from standard format images to allow quick and easy overwriting of the "external edit" image as sent from programs like Lightroom or Aperture.
  • Now supports ZIP compression for TIFF images with a range of 4 compression options from fast saves to maximum compression. Provides much better compression, especially at 16 bits/channel, than the LZW and PackBits TIFF compression options. Gives similar file size to PNG format.
  • Now supports a range of 4 compression options for PNG export from fast saves to maximum compression.
  • Support added for pass through of EXIF user comments field and focal plane resolution.
  • Support for pass through of TIFF document name metadata field.
  • New View menu items added for srolling the preview image. Also helps ensure that the image preview scrolling keyboard commands are avaiable regardless of which window may have keyboard focus.
  • Brought back Tooltips to the thumbnail browser and also added image size, date and exposure settings to the Tooltip information.
  • Improvements:
  • Automatic support for alternate RAW aspect ratio (16:9 and 1:1) cropping with Fujifilm X series cameras.
  • Improved support for Fujifilm X series camera white balance presets (daylight, cloudy, shade, tungsten, fluorescent) directly from RAF image metadata.
  • Enabled automatic lens corrections for some older Fujifilm compact models (F505EXR, F550EXR, F600EXR, F605EXR).
  • Improved RAW image crop origin for many recent Sony models (A7, A7R, A99, a3000, a5000, a6000, RX100, RX10, RX1, ...). RAW size and position should match camera JPEGs now.
  • Improved support for camera white balance presets from some Samung models.
  • Improved TIFF export speed, in some cases up to 15-30% faster saving. Now using the latest libTIFF (v4.0.3) library.
  • Improved PNG export speed and updated to latest PNG support libraries (v1.6.10 and zlib v1.2.8) for improved security and performance.
  • Updated LittleCMS color management engine support to version 2.6.
  • Tidied up image information (ISO, focal length, aperture and shutter speed) display in the status bar of the preview window.
  • Export EXIF fields for both shutter speed and exposure time and aperture and f-number, if one or the other exists, for all camera models. Previously Iridient Developer would convert these fields and output both options for some camera models, but not all. Some manufacturers use one field, some the other, and it can make metadata comparisons difficult.
  • No longer writes copyright metadata if field is all whitespace characters.
  • Now automatically opens duplicated image(s).
  • Removed dire warning message when duplicating image(s).
  • Improved error message on image export failure.
  • Support for latest EXIF v2.3 ISO speed metadata for support for extended ISO values beyond 65535 (such as 409,600).
  • Cleaned up display of camera make and model for manufacturers that included the make in the model string as well, should prevent multiple display of the camera make.
  • Automatically disables TIFF PackBits and LZW compression options for 16 bit/channel export. These old compression formats can given very poor results at high bit depths and in many cases will make the image even larger than with no compression at all.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fix for some TIFF standard format images that could be being mistaken for RAW images, in particular some ZIP compressed TIFF files from Lightroom.
  • Fixed ian ssue with the UltraRez scaling methods at low scale values (less than 120%) which would result in the output of all black images.
  • Properly restores the open/closed state of the metadata Info panel when quitting and re-opening the program.

  • An option has been added to the export dialog to use the original image folder as the default save to location.
  • Improvements:
  • Radically improved image caching speeds loading of previously accessed images, especially for RAW images from sensors which require extra early stage processing such as the Fujifilm X-Trans and Sigma Foveon. The image cache can now be set to automatically optimize memory usage based on system wide memory availability in addition to the previously available image count limits.
  • More lenient parsing of IPTC/XMP metadata block in DNG images to allow pass through of IPTC/XMP metadata that may not strictly follow the TIFF or EXIF specification (Leica M240).
  • Better handling of some non-ASCII characters stored in EXIF metadata string fields such as copyright.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixes potential crashes with Olympus E-M1 and E-M10 RAW images when using 16:9 aspect ratio setting.
  • Fixed default image size for Nikon D5300 to exactly match the camera JPEGs (6000x4000).
  • Fixed baseline exposure levels for extended ISO modes (6400 and 12800) for the Nikon P7000, P7100, P7700, P7800 and P330.
  • Bug fix for Leica M (Typ 240) where 2 rows of garbage pixels could appear at the top of the image when using DNG camera profiles with CLUTs or custom tone curves.
  • Fixed issue with some keyboard commands not working when the image preview window loses focus to the Settings window, including image navigation (left/right arrows) and preview image scrolling (page up/down, home, end).
