A much faster PhotoRaw
PhotoRaw 3.6 is now available on the app store. It's a big upgrade; import speeds are about twice as fast. So, for example, on an iPad 2 the image on the first page of the PhotoRaw website loads in 13 seconds, versus 26 seconds for the previous version. For those curious, the image in question was shot in a train yard close to Port Hedland, Australia.
And no, there's no change to image quality. In fact, the demosaicing engine is exactly the same as in the previous versions, so you still get the image quality that has distinguished PhotoRaw from day one. For those interested, the changes that give the improved speed are mostly in making a lot more operations occur in parallel.
V3.6 also brings support for the Nikon D3200.
