Sigma has just introduced Version 5.5
of Sigma Photo Pro software. The update incorporates a new monochrome
mode processing interface that features several new functions, including
a channel-mixing palette, which allows users to control the level of
red, green and blue within an image for better tonal separation and
contrast. A new grain palette feature allows users to add or reduce the
size and strength of grain within an image, producing a texture and
dimension similar to that found in film photography. To download the

Sigma Press Release
Sigma Corporation of America announces the release of Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 software
Company introduces SPP 5.5 software with updates and new Monochrome Mode interface
RONKONKOMA, N.Y.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sigma
Corporation of America a leading researcher, developer, manufacturer
and service provider of some of the world’s most impressive lines of
lenses, cameras and flashes, is pleased to introduce Sigma Photo Pro 5.5
software, which includes upgrades and updates for both Mac and Windows
platforms, as well as a new Monochrome Mode processing interface. This
updated software is now available for download for both Mac and Windows
operating systems.
The new Monochrome Mode will feature
several new functions, including a channel-mixing palette, which allows
users to control the level of red, green and blue within an image for
better tonal separation and contrast. A new grain palette feature will
allow users to add or reduce the size and strength of grain within an
image, producing a texture and dimension similar to that found in film
photography. Paired with the Sigma cameras’ Foveon sensor, Monochrome
Mode brings out the true potential of black and white images with great
detail, sharpness, contrast and tonality. Foveon X3 image sensor
technology allows the camera design to bypass the need for an
anti-aliasing filter, which causes image blur, as well as a color filter
array which reduces image sharpness.
“Black and white photography is
becoming increasingly popular, and the Monochrome Mode, paired with the
strength of the Foveon sensor, truly takes black and white photography
to the next level,” said Mark Amir-Hamzeh, president of Sigma
Corporation of America. “With an entirely new processing pipeline for
monochrome images, Sigma users will be able to truly take advantage of
the Foveon sensor with Monochrome Mode, which we believe will set even
higher standards for our Sigma camera line.”
Changes to the updated Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 software include:
Design change for fringing reduction
Updated adjustment settings: Selecting “Auto” chooses the appropriate preset value for the color mode (only compatible with the data of the SD1, SD1 Merrill, DP1 Merrill, DP2 Merrill, DP3 Merrill)
Ensures TIFF files save completely
Added Monochrome Mode interface (only compatible with the RAW data from SD1, SD1 Merrill, DP1 Merrill, DP2 Merrill, DP3 Merrill)
Ensures color consistency on Macs when viewing X3 files in SPP compared to the same file in JPEG opened with the default Mac preview mode
Ensures SPP reflects the data of the latest lenses on Windows
