Please consider including a 'Navigator' or thumbnail view. Fine detail: Much better at identifying sharp focus areas with the only drawback that it can be fooled by noise, I don't know if there is an easy solution for this. High contrast edges: I find this of limited use, especially if you are a 'pixel peeper' since it does not really relate to sharp focus areas. I did not understand at first why I had a difference between this and rawdigger (in terms of EV) and then found out that it was due to exposure compensation.īoost shadows: I love this, since I commonly shoot in 'Iso-less' mode and this function allows to quickly evaluate the image in the dark areas Histogram: The Raw histogram is affected by the exposure compensation (so it is not a 'pure' raw histogram). Number of simultaneous RAW decode threads: I'm not sure how high I can go with this, Should this number be related to the number of processors / cores / threads?

If you have a standard hard drive the difference is bigger. I tested with SSD and high speed Raid 0 configurations, and RAM is always faster.

In computers with lots of RAM (>16 GB), why don't let this number go higher? Can't I have 200 images in the cache? Raw cache: Decoded RAW cache size (number of cached file) - The maximum value is 40. It may suit other workflows.įrom a comment in the FastRawViewer forum, it seems that a grid will not be included, but the filmstrip is being considered. I mean, having a grid or filmstrip would be very helpful since currently you either have to view all files sequentialy or guess which image number you want to display without control of the order of images (I guess it is by date taken). Pros: It is fast (see note about speed), useful functionsĬons: The inability to fast navigate to a image inside a folder. Over and underexposure, with configurable threshold for underexposure I'd like to share my first impressions testing Fast Raw Viewer. We'll add something like 'Always start in full-screen' option in next version. Our (beta-team) users was confused by remembering full window state (including full screen) from previous run, so this option appear.

It should work as it is written: FRV opens in full-screen after start only if you close it from full-screen on previous run. The full name of option is 'Start in full screen if program was closed while in full screen'.

No problems launching dozens of other programs full screen. My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT. Raw & Post Processing, Printing > Digital Image Processing
