I can still process images from my Olympus and Panasonic cameras without applying the lens correction information that's included in the raw file (and that other apps like Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom apply automatically). And it looks like for some lenses I would be able to apply a lens profile with the built-in chromatic aberration correction but without the built-in distortion correction, but so far none of my lenses offer me this option (the check box for CA is grayed out).
The reason I'm only giving Irident Developer 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn't offer any localized adjustments. All adjustments apply to the entire image.

Admittedly, Aperture has become much cheaper than it used to be. I haven't used it so I can't compare. But I like software that does one thing and does it well, and that is Raw Developer.

Stand out features: Speed - this is the fastest raw converter on Mac I've tried. Batch mode - very flexible with excellent scale up features, fast. Only RAW developer I've seen that will allow multiple format output in the same batch session. Controlling exposure sectors with sliders - very intuitive. Copy and Pasting Settings - move all or groups of settings between photos. B&W development - absolutely the best black and white rendering that I have seen in any raw converter.
What this program is not: It is not Expression Media, Aperture or Lightroom, it will not help organize your photos at all. RD does play well with other programs, for example you can open a selection of photos directly in Expression Media, the Finder, or Path Finder in RD. It's more like ACR as stand alone. To my eye it is not that effective with high noise photos. I use NoiseNinja for this.
In brief, if you looking for a fast, clean raw file converter for Mac and won't miss the "one program for everything" approach (like in Lightroom and Aperture) give RAW Developer a serious look.

The workflow in RAW Developer is similar to Adobe Camera Raw, which makes it easy and fast for me to use. The image preview updates as corrections are applied, and the result is an image that is as good as or better than what I can get from ACR. Image settings are saved in files with a .rdsf extension, so they don't conflict with the .xml files created by ACR.
The only other RAW converter I could find that doesn't apply corrections to images during conversion is Raw Photo Processor. I have used RPP several times and even donated to unlock additional features, but I gave up after a while, as I found it just too difficult. The UI is awkward, the documentation doesn't explain things very well, the preview does not update automatically, and I never could get the highlight recovery feature to work properly. In comparison, RAW Developer is a pleasure to use.
My only (minor) complaint about RAW Developer is that the documentation is somewhat out of date (it appears to be for version 1.4). As a result, there is no explanation of a few settings, but in most cases I have been able to figure out what they do through trial and error (although I'm at a loss to guess what "TC Shadow" means).
