Brian Griffith has released an update to Iridient Developer 2.3 which "greatly expands support for Raw image information based lens corrections to numerous new cameras including most all recent models from Canon, Sony, Olympus, Fujifilm and Panasonic," Griffith said.

"The automatic chromatic aberration correction algorithm has also been greatly improved and should give better, more consistent results under difficult image conditions," he continued. "Camera manufacturer Raw metadata and DNG lens profile based chromatic aberration corrections can now be applied independently of lens distortion corrections."
