![]() ![]() If the image name ends with a RAW format extension (some examples include CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, etc) then the program has passed a reference to the original un-processed RAW file for editing. If the image name ends with JPG or TIF it is not a RAW file and the program has transferred a processed image rather than the original RAW. To determine whether a drag and drop resulted in opening the original RAW image or a processed or preview version you can check the image name at the top of the preview Window in Iridient Developer. A few popular programs that do this include Apple's Aperture and iPhoto. If you are working with RAW images some programs will automatically convert RAW images to either a low quality, low resolution preview, often as JPEG format, or a processed version when using drag and drop. Sometimes the larger image preview cannot be dragged, but the smaller thumbnail icons generally can be. In most cases you can just drag the image thumbnail(s) from the image browser program to Iridient Developer to open the original images. Most popular image browsing programs support drag and drop, for example Adobe Lightroom and Bridge, Photo Mechanic, Media Pro, Lyn and ViewIt. You can drag and drop images or folders from the Finder and many other image browser type programs onto the Iridient Developer icon in the Dock, the Iridient Developer preview window or onto the Iridient Developer application. Individual images can also be opened by simply double clicking on the thumbnail icon or file name.ĭrag and drop of image(s) or folder(s) from the Finder or other applications To open the selected image(s) or folder(s) click the "Open" button found in the lower right corner of the dialog or by pressing the Return key. There are two arrow buttons in the top left for navigating forward and back through your recent history and also a popup menu that provides quick access to recently accessed folders and the folder hierarchy. Favorites you have stored in the Finder will appear in the sidebar as well just as they do in Finder windows. You can also store shortcuts to commonly accessed folders by dragging them to the sidebar section on the left. The Open dialog can also browse through images stored in your iPhoto or Aperture catalogs by clicking Photos under the Media section in the left sidebar section. To switch between viewing options you use the four buttons near to the top, left of the dialog just to the right of the arrows. It also provides the ability to search for images by name or other metadata using the search field just like you would use in the Finder. Just like Finder windows, the Open dialog provides the ability to browse through images by by thumbnail icons, by list, by column browser and by Cover Flow. The standard Open dialog used by Iridient Developer is shared in common with many other Mac OS programs and functions very, very much like the standard Mac OS X Finder windows used for browsing drives on your system. The Open dialog by default is displayed on application launch and can also be shown at any time by choosing "Open." from the File menu (or key combo command+O). Here are a few of the most common methods:Ĭhoose images or folder containing images in the Open dialog There are a number of different ways to open images into Iridient Developer. I had thought when they came out with X Transform they had dropped the developer for Windows boxes.Iridient Developer supports a large number of image formats from over 550 RAW camera model formats to standard image formats such as TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, PSD, BMP, PICT, GIF to high dynamic range formats (HDR) including OpenEXR and Radiance. ![]() So they came out with X Transformer so you could use most of the features and generate a DNG you could use with other developers. They started working on it for Windows, but it must have been a lot more work than first thought. You would have to Email Brian but I know at one time the Windows users were whining because the developer was only available on the Mac. I also thought that Iridient Transformer was PC compatible. I hadn't tried it with my X3F's but will. Iridient does a masterful job with my Fuji RAF's. The only down side for some will be - the developer is only available for the Mac. It has nice highlight recovery.Īll and all a nice package especially considering it is a one man company. It has indecent control of shadows, midtowns and highlights. It has deconvolution sharpening for caused where diffraction sets in or small camera movement. ![]() It has features that cannot not be found elsewhere. It is the only package that does the Fuji X-Trans right. ![]()
