 Sigma Photo Pro software : Sigma is proud to announce Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 software, which includes upgrades and updates for both Mac and Windows PC's, as well as a new Monochrome Mode processing interface. This updated Sigma software is now available for download. The new Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 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 from the Sigma Photo Pro software 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 digital cameras’ Foveon sensor, Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 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 digital 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.
Sigma Photo Pro Monochrome Mode
“Black and white photography is becoming increasingly popular, and the Sigma Photo Pro Monochrome Mode, paired with the strength of the Foveon sensor, truly takes black and white photography to a higher level,” said Mark Amir-Hamzeh, president of Sigma Corporation of America. “With an entirely new processing pipeline for monochrome images, Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 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.”
