Pacific Grove, CA, March 31, 2011 -- Iridient Digital, Inc. has released RAW Developer 1.9.1 a major update to our critically acclaimed RAW image processing software for Mac OS X.

This update includes support for several new camera models including the Fuji X100, F550EXR and HS20EXR (HS22EXR).

Memory requirements for loading very large numbers of certain image formats, particularly Pentax PEF format, has been greatly reduced and should improve the responsiveness of scrolling through thumbnails.

Several new keyboard shortcuts for zooming and navigating around the image preview have been added including the space bar for temporarily switching to the move hand cursor plus the command and option keys for zooming in/out centered on particular locations. The home and end keys can now be used to rapidly scroll to the top, left or bottom, right and combined with the option key to navigate to top, right or bottom, left. The command key combined page up and page down keys can now be used to scroll left and right.

A bug has also been fixed that prevented some Fuji RAF format files from properly loading when running in 64-bit mode.
