Having introduced features like the X3 Fill Light that took full advantage of the Foveon's remarkable dynamic range, SPP has evolved slowly and whilst it remains a powerful tool for processing the X3F files produced by the Direct Image Sensor (and until the release of Iridient's Raw developer, the only option for the high resolution 46MP files captured by the SD1 and Merrill series cameras) it is limited compared to third-party offerings available to other camera users. Richard Kilpatrick takes a look at Iridient's Raw developer.
