(Friday, June 25, 2010 - 13:55 EDT)

Japan's Sigma Corp. has released updated versions of its Sigma Photo Pro image processing software for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

SIGMA Photo Pro 4.1.1.0 (3591) for Windows and SIGMA Photo Pro 4.1 (1044) for Macintosh share one change. When processing Raw files from the Sigma SD15 digital SLR, Photo Pro 4.1.0.0 (3567) for Windows, and 4.1 (1043) for Macintosh, color settings other than Standard and Neutral couldn't be applied to images. In addition, each operating system's version of the initial Photo Pro 4.1 release had its own incorrect behavior. The Windows version wouldn't apply chrominance or luminance noise reduction to images. The Macintosh version would rarely render images incorrectly as being entirely black. These issues are all corrected in Sigma Photo Pro 4.1.1.0, which also adds 64-bit support on the Windows platform.

Sigma Photo Pro v4.1 is available for download immediately in both Windows and Macintosh versions, from the software download pages for the SD15, SD14, DP1, DP2, and DP2s cameras. Sigma Photo Pro 4 requires either Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac OS X v10.4+ operating systems, along with a minimum of 512MB RAM, 1GB available hard disk space, and a 1,024 x 768 pixel, 16-bit or greater display. The software is a free download for Sigma customers.

UPDATED 2010-07-01 23:36ET: Official press release added.

Notice to customers using the SIGMA SD15
We have noticed the supplied imaging processing software SIGMA Photo Pro 4.1.0.0 (3567) for Windows and SIGMA Photo Pro v.4.1 (1043) for Macintosh has some bugs. The latest version of SIGMA Photo Pro 4.1.1.0 (3591) for Windows and SIGMA Photo Pro 4.1 (1044) for Macintosh, which has been modified for these bugs, is available and can be download from the special site of SD15.

The details of these bugs:

  • Color Mode settings will not be applied to images

  • If you change the Color Mode in the Adjustment Controls Palette, your selected setting (except “Standard” and “Neutral”) will not be applied to images when converted to TIFF or JPEG.

  • Noise Reduction settings will not be applied to images

  • Only for Windows version, the setting of the Noise Reduction (both Chroma and Luminance Noise) in the Adjustment Controls Palette will not be applied to images which are converted to TIFF or JPEG.

  • Images will become black

  • Only for Macintosh version, images which are displayed in the Review Windows and converted to TIFF or JPEG may become out black. This only happens very rarely.

  • When this phenomenon occurs, please exit and restart SIGMA Photo Pro.
