Raw Developer and Raw Photo Processor Updates

[peterottaway]

For anyone who uses these programs Raw Developer has been updated to 1.8.10 with the A 450 and NEX 3/5 included. RPP has the same and new A 850 and A 900 profiles.

I've posted up the Iridient link in the NEX thread. For RPP, all you need do is launch the program, and it will automatically ask to install your update.

I have been doing some processing of the Croatian files, and I think the opinions of journalists may have been badly influenced by the JPEG quality from the cameras. In fact, the 18-55mm is so good at 18mm wide open that - apart from correctable CA - I'd say it was a match for any lens of this class. The 16mm is bitingly sharp centrally at f/2.8 - really extremely sharp. I'm looking at raw files which risk aliasing or moiré at every turn, they are that sharp even with all NR and sharpening turned off in Raw Developer.
