I used to use Apple Aperture, which - as I recall - would group similar photos (or at least, bracketed shots), which made going through them a bit easier. I'm currently using Capture One, and my general process involves manually sorting through photos, loading those from a sequence on screen to compare and try to discard those duplicates that are imperfect, choosing photos I really like for possible editing, and then either editing or leaving behind from that selection. and children still strike me as being photographically unpredictable) and less time for photo editing, leading to nightmare scenarios in which I'm loading photos onto my computer and sorting through 2,000-3,000 photos in one go. It means less discipline with the shutter button (trying to get that perfect moment. But now I am a parent to two small children, who are also my main photo subjects these days. Our RawDigger is used by camera testers (including here, at DPR), scientists, and in research centres.I used to enjoy culling my photos it was a nice way to relive the experience, enjoy what came out, and reflect on it. We maintain open source raw decoding library, LibRaw, used in more than a few raw converters, not only as program modules, but also in a way of documentation.
Since we do know what raw is, we came up with an independent Fujifilm compressed raw decoder, AFAIK the first one. Raw data is a rasterized image file, and can be viewed as such.
Fastrawviewer 1.3.2.937 key for mac os#
Also, FastPictureViewer does not seem to be available for Mac OS X.ĪCR is a converter, not displaying raw (it does not need to, actually), applying a lot of adjustments to data behind the scenes to beautify the image, those adjustments including silent exposure compensation (brightening in fact, known as "baseline exposure"), which may leave a false impression of a properly exposed image when it is not. Such adjustments allow to cull with more confidence and to save time in raw conversion using Adobe products. No, FastPictureViewer does not have a similar feature set, not in the least because it does not offer white balance, brightness (exposure slider in ACR/Lr), and contrast adjustments compatible with ACR and Lightroom.
Raw histogram, statistics, over- and under-exposure indication in FastRawViewer are all calculated before application of white balance, preventing false impression of over-exposure in red and blue channels and allowing to estimate under-exposure accurately. You can compare our raw histogram with histograms in other viewers and see that they are very different. To compare, open a raw file and press "J". You can check with your raw files to see how the embedded JPEG and it's histogram (that's what image viewers normally display) differ from raw. It is a very good picture viewer, but in our minds it does not address the needs of raw shooters, and especially of those who want to move from shooting JPEGs to shooting raw and may want to adjust their exposure strategy accordingly.Įvaluating raw based on embedded JPEG or uncontrolled rendition of raw data may be rather misleading:Įmbedded JPEG histogram below suggests extreme overexposure in red and blue channels (more than 1.5 stops) and some clipping of the green channel:īut the raw data is far from clipping, it is a tad underexposed in fact: No, FastPictureViewer is not a raw viewer, not showing even a raw data histogram AFAIK.
