The convenience of working with the shots taken in the RAW + JPEG mode, with two files being
paired:
a)
While listing through files, you have the option to ignore the second file in the pair.
b)
JPEGs (including embedded thumbnails) are considered to be “additional images” and are
immediately accessible for viewing.
c)
When you move a file from the RAW + JPEG pair to another folder, the other file follows.
d)
And, of course, you can always switch this mode off, if you so choose, and treat the files as
separate.
The possibility of doing a quick visual and technical analysis by:
a)
Examining the real RAW histogram.
b)
Assessing the exposure based on:
i.
Spotlighting of over- and underexposed areas on the shot.
ii.
Over- and underexposure statistics.
c)
Outlining the in-focus and highly detailed areas on the shot.
d)
Assessing per-channel exposure and acutance.
e)
Assessing the noise level in the shadows.
Time-saver: exposure and white balance adjustments can be made while browsing RAW files and
are saved in XMP files so that they can be automatically applied when you open that shot in Adobe
Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.
Time-saver for series, including panoramas: propagation of white balance, exposure, and image
orientation adjustments from one shot to the entire series.
Highly compatible system of assigning labels and ratings to images, including the user-defined
labels. Ratings and labels are written into XMP files and are read by Adobe software (and others
which acknowledge XMP sidecar files).
Copying and moving the selected shots into folders chosen by the user.
Moving the rejected shots into a special folder, which can be reviewed again later.
Transferring the selected shots for further processing to a user-selected RAW converter directly
from FastRawViewer.
Support for black and white RAW, including shots from cameras converted to b/w by removing the
color filter array.
Warnings when
FastRawViewer
comes across a damaged RAW file.
Monitor color profile support, without the loss of image rendering speed.
Modifying settings to suite your workflow
a)
You can set your own keyboard (or keyboard+mouse) shortcuts for every action.
b)
The settings panel allows you to turn off the ones you don’t need, and change the others to
your preferences.
