What Iridient Developer is
Iridient Developer is a paid macOS application for converting RAW files and processing photographs, aimed at advanced photographers and casual users. It handles RAW files from more than 800 camera models, Adobe DNG through version 1.7.1, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, OpenEXR, and Radiance. Adjustment tools cover tone curves, highlight recovery, white balance, exposure, sharpening, noise reduction, color, and monochrome controls, with lens correction included. Processing runs at 16 bits per channel or higher, while selected sharpening methods use a 32-bit floating-point color space. Unlimited background batch processing, drag-and-drop conversion, and flexible naming support larger jobs. Exports include JPEG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG2000, and JPEG XL, with IPTC, XMP, and EXIF 2.3 metadata available for TIFF, PNG, and JPEG. Version 5.5 requires macOS 11 or later and an Apple silicon or Intel 64-bit AVX processor. The listed plan is $119.99 a month, billed per person, with a perpetual license and at least 18 months of free upgrades.
