IRIDIENT 3.0.5
Iridient Developer 3.0.5 is now available:
http://iridientdigital.com/
Improves RAW black level handling, in some situations quite noticeably, for the X100 and perhaps some other non X-Trans models as well. Various other bug fixes, improvements and new camera support. This release also adds an editing extension for Apple Photos on Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) that provides external edit type functionality for opening images from the Photos library into Iridient Developer.
The Million Dollar Brian
And since we are talking of Iridient, here is another fun (and fake) rumor I’ve received via email.
“Adobe is considering abandoning their own RAW developer and contract Iridient to supply software. We have 50 people working on this stuff and they can’t keep up with a one man show! We just have the wrong staff, exclaims senior manager! We can pay him $5mill a year and still come out ahead!”
I contacted Brian from Iridient, since I wanted to share a good laugh him… and he obviously confirmed that it’s a fake since “their recruiter told me they could only afford $4 million” 🙂

I’ll be happy to buy a licence or two if they decide to release it on Windows or Linux.
Adobe has a monopoly, especially with Photoshop, and
they want to keep it. Taking over Iridient (although this is only a fake rumour) would mean the same thing as with Macromedia in the past. Let things bleed to death which we already have in the market. Although I would like to see Lightroom on Linux, but they will never do that.
A pity Iridient does not cater for Windows users
Iridient is the best among many others I’ve tried. Brian did and keep doing his job at 110%. The only thing I wish to be improved in Iridient Developer is faster rendering RAFs when switching from one to another.
I don’t hang around here much because I do not use Fuji but I have seen results from Irident’s engine. I would say 5 million is nothing. Irident should be getting at least 10 times as much because Adobe’s engine has been somewhat lacking in the detail and dynamic range department compared to DxO, C1 and Irident.
Nothing but respect for Brian. What he pulls off is nothing short of amazing!
Easy for me to say but don’t sell out to Adobe. They’ll take ‘Keep it small keep it simple’ and kill it.
