Iridient Digital - RAW Developer - wow. I am thrilled. I have already looked at many RAW photo editing software. But the RAW Developer is absolutely brilliant. A rather sleek interface, sensible features and incredibly fast.
So far, with almost every software except the Canon software, I have stumbled upon a certain image from my collection - it was displayed incorrectly by all, with completely shifted green tones (rather all yellow instead of green). With the RAW Developer it works - and the results look just as good as with the standard software from Canon. But the operation is much more agile.
Also very nice: unlike the Canon software, you can pass a series of marked images to the program via AppleEvent - the RAW Developer thus integrates absolutely comfortably into iView Media Pro. Much better than the Canon software, which would then only display the appropriate folder, but not directly only the selected images.
Additionally, it has the advantage that it is the only software I have found so far that can handle the old Kodak DCS RAW images - all others could read the newer RAW formats from Kodak, but not the old ones - and I still have those from my rather short interlude with the DCS 520 on my hard drive.
65 euros is not a small amount of money (especially for a pure auxiliary tool), but if you work a lot with RAW images and possibly with different cameras, then the investment is worth it in my opinion. Because you don't constantly have to fiddle with different programs and the speed is simply great - and even if it's just a hobby for me, slow software is still annoying.
