#IRIDIENT DEVELOPER VS CAPTURE ONE DOWNLOAD#
Iridient Digital - Iridient Developer 3.0.4 Download One of the things I like about Iridient is that it converts to a fairly flat file from a tonal perspective, which leaves a lot of editing headroom for one's favorite moves in Lightroom. I've tried Iridient Developer 3 Beta on a few images, and the image quality of RAW conversions is better than ever, and very impressive. There are a lot of improvements in version 3, but the most notable is that there are now three, count 'em three, new Fuji X-tran sharpening settings, v3 X-Trans Detail, Smooth, and Standard.

Once Brian made ID available to function as a plug-in within Lightroom, it became even easier and more streamlined to use. I've been using Iridient Developer for the last half year or so, and have been very, very impressed with it's ability to convert Fuji X-Trans RAF files, specifically, its ability to sharpen RAF images in a very detailed, yet natural way, and particularly with respect to rendering foliage, hair, fur, and textile high-frequency detail.

Just got an email from Brian that Iridient Developer 3 Beta is available for download.
