To use AdobeRGB under the ICC profile, you need to save the developed images.
First of all, please set the colorspace in the SILKYPIX.
Next please make "Record ICC profile" in "Option for JPEG/TIFF" effective by "Setting for developed image" and execute save the developed images.
Please refer to our software manual ("4.8.3 Colorspace", "9.1.2 Option for JPEG/TIFF" and "9.1.3 Development Policy") for more detail.

Please acknowledge this before using.
We do not guarantee normal operation of this software with the OS, which is not described in the system requirements.
Regarding the system requirements, refer to Operating Environment on the web site.
This difference occurs because the JPEG file recorded simultaneously is the picture, which has been developed according to the development settings of a camera, and this setting is different from that of this software.
After we review the data, the color and the operation of the camera, "SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.0" guides as the supported cameras.
Any digital camera that is not on the support list will be considered un-compatible.
We cannot guarantee the functionality of our software for any cameras that are not on our support list.
When you are doing a batch development, you can change the file names by using the "default filename to save" in the "Setting for developed image" dialog.
Please refer to the software manual "9.1.5 Default Filename to Save."
Note) Once the original file name has been changed you won't be able to revert back to it..
The item which you pointed out isn't a standard in EXIF.
This information cannot save by SILKYPIX because of the unique information ( the MakerNote ) from the manufacturer.
* the MakerNote is non-public-information.
In SILKYPIX, there are two method of operating the "Batch development for reserved scene" and the "Batch development for selected scene".
Please follow the directions below:
- About the "Batch development for reserved scene"
* As for this operation, SILKYPIX develops the images that have the "Batch development mark".
1. Put a "Batch development mark" on the images that you want to develop.
2. Start the "Batch development" dialog by doing one of the following operations.
1) Click the "Batch development for reserved scene" in the " Development" on the menu.
2) Click the "Batch development for reserved scene" in the " File" on the menu.
3) Click the [Batch development] button.
3. Set each item in the "Batch development" dialog, and click the [Execute] button.
- About the "Batch development for selected scene"
*As for this operation, SILKYPIX develop the images that you have selected from the thumbnail mode.
1. Select all the developed images that you want to develop.
2. Start the "Batch development" dialog by doing one of the following operations.
1) Click the "Batch development for selected scene" in the " Development" on the menu.
2) Click the "Batch development for selected scene" in the " File" on the menu.

First, adjust exposure and color temperature.
Then, adjust the sharp and noise reduction which will enlarge the display magnification of the image from 100 to 1600%.
The high frequency noise is the false color of the pixel unit ( 1, 2 pixels ).
It depends on the influence of the Bayer array largely.
On the other hand, the low frequency noise is the color noise which occurs by dozens of pixel unit.
It depends on the number of pixels of the camera, but it has a red, blue, yellow
mottled pattern.
This occurs when you take a high-sensitivity picture.
If "SILKYPIX_DS3E_3.0.X.X.dmg" file does not extract properly.
Please do the following operation.

We have been receiving a lot of request to support non-supported digital cameras.
However, SILKYPIX can only work with models which has the image pickup device (CCD/CMOS) of the primary color bayer array.
An example of an incompatible camera:
1.The foveon model made by Sigma Corporation. (For example: SD10, SD9)
2.The model which has CCD and uses the complementary colors system. (For example: Nikon Coolpix5700 and so on)
3.The model which has CCD except for the primary color bayer array. (For example: SONY F828 and so on )
Silkypix Developer Studio is updated as soon as a new digital camera is introduced to the market.
Therefore, by the time a new model is introduced to the market then we will make the necessary revision to support the new digital camera.
Also, sometimes, we will add a new function or correct a problem when we are doing the revisions. In short, we highly recommend using the latest version.
If you are comfortable with your current version then please continue to use it. You will not have any problem using your current version.
We will leave it up to you if would like to use the latest version of SILKYPIX or not.
We recommend downloading the latest version.
(Please refer to the release note that we attached it for each version.)
* Please keep in mind, we cannot support all of the digital cameras that are in the current market due to different model types.
Furthermore, we cannot promise how soon we would be able to support these models.
We hope you could understand our situation.
We are trying to support as soon as possible to the digital camera which is put on the market.
However, we can not promise support for all new digital cameras.
We are not able to support it by the type of models.
Also, we can not promise the time when we start to support these models.
We hope you will understand our situation.
* By the fastest, we supported the digital camera on the publication day.
In former results, in case of the digital camera with massed produce single lens reflex camera type, we support within about 1 week after sale to a lot of models.
Also, we supported within about 1week after sale to a lot of models.
However, in case of the professional camera and the compact camera, we have the case that support takes time.
