Foveonic
Foveonic is a new image editor and processing engine for Foveon sensor cameras (manufactured roughly 2002-2019). It processes X3F files quickly and according to manufacturer intention, handling each of the four different sensor architectures with its own pipeline. It includes a major noise reduction improvement, GPU-based processing, and downsampled sensor-layer rendering so multi-shot editing stays snappy instead of rendering full 16mp images for small displays. The author is also reworking caching/scheduling to multiplex downsampled editing so images are processed in the same GPU pass rather than N passes times M images serially.
What it addresses
Existing software for Foveon sensors is either wildly slow (multiple seconds of waiting after every UI interaction to display changes) or does not process according to manufacturer intention, leaving color casts unhandled with images looking green/magenta in different areas of the shot.
