Mac Photos software

[idp69]

Hi guys. Anybody here using the new Mac Photos software editing raw files? Is x-trans supported anyway by Photos? Thanks.

Photos, iPhoto and Aperture all use the same underlying RAW engine API from Apple.  They all "work".

In fact, Iridient Developer uses the same API engine also.  This is why Iridient is only supported on the Mac. However, the final results can vary greatly between Apple's own apps and Iridient . 

 

 

"OS X Yosemite provides system-level support for digital camera RAW formats from the following cameras."

Iridient provides the option to use the MAC OS raw demosaicing. However it also provides two additional X-Trans demosiaicing algorithms that do not rely on the OS API.
