Much improved RAW processing engine offering significantly faster loading of files, a new demosaicing algorithm, more effective noise reduction, hot pixel removal and wide colour space development.

In addition, the iPad apps receive further performance optimizations. Serif specifically notes that the iPad mini, with its support for Apple Pencil, results in a great experience with the refreshed UI. Of course, this means that the new updates will work nicely with Apple’s upcoming Pro Display XDR announced at WWDC 2019.Īlthough today’s update is Mac-centric, iPad users also receive a noteworthy update in the form of a refreshed, compact UI that provides more working real estate and a better experience on smaller iPad hardware.
