Recording of the exposure correction to XMP files: Interaction with Adobe Programs

Exposure adjustment is recorded in XMP-file in the

FastRawViewer

format (if reading/recording XMP

is on).

Moreover, exposure adjustment in a format that is compatible with Adobe (Bridge, Camera Raw,
Lightroom)
is recorded in XMP as well. This recording can be turned off through Preferences – XMP –
Adobe Compatible Exposure and White Balance
.

Exposure Adjustment when Browsing to the Next File

If the value of the exposure correction can be read from an XMP file (the priority is given to the value
recorded in

FastRawViewer

format, and if it is not found, we take the value from the record in Adobe

format), it will be applied when the file is displayed.

If XMP file does not exist, or the exposure correction records are absent in it, exposure correction will
not be applied (however, if Apply Adobe hidden exposure correction is ON, it will still be applied).
This behavior can be altered through the setting
Preferences – Exposure – Exposure correction on file open:

No correction (default) – exposure correction is not applied.

Autoexposure – Automatic exposure correction will be applied, according to the respective
settings for this type of correction.

Keep from prev. file – same value of the exposure correction, as it was set for the previous
file is applied. If the file is the first one opened during this session, no exposure correction is
applied.

White Balance

FastRawViewer

offers several methods of setting white balance

Choose one of the standard presets (As Shot/Auto/Daylight/Tungsten).
