Some of the major new features now added to version 3.0 include:

- Monochrome specific RAW processing options for Bayer and X-Trans cameras.

- Additional monochrome color toning options including Split Toning and Mono Tone.

- "Iridient Reveal" sharpening method, combines some of the best aspects of my existing deconvolution processing along with several of my more traditional approaches (unsharp mask, high pass and DoG) into one "super" sharpener.

- Edge Masking now available with all 6 sharpening methods.

- Clarity adjustment with 4 variants from soft to strong.
