FastRawViewer: The Ultimate Solution for RAW Image Culling and Editing

If you're a professional photographer or just someone who loves taking photos, you know how important it is to have the right tools to manage your images. One of the most critical aspects of digital photography is working with RAW files. These files contain all the data captured by your camera's sensor, giving you complete control over your images during post-processing.

However, working with RAW files can be time-consuming and frustrating. That's where FastRawViewer comes in - it's an all-in-one solution for fast and reliable culling, direct presentation, and speeding up the conversion stage of any amounts of any RAW images.

With FastRawViewer, you can see RAW exactly as a RAW converter will "see" it and estimate what a converter will be able to squeeze from it. This software allows for non-destructive culling and editing while providing composite and per-channel display of real RAW shots - not embedded JPEG or uncontrolled conversion.

One unique feature that sets FastRawViewer apart from other photo software is its ability to provide real-time feedback on exposure adjustments (overall brightness), white balance presets/color temperature/tint/manual adjustments, contrast (tone) curves, shadow boost, black-and-white previewing options as well as customizable extensive EXIF data display.

Fast Raw Viewer also offers rating/labels customization options that are saved in XMP sidecar files so there is no need to repeat them again in a raw converter. You can move or copy "keepers" to a designated folder while moving rejected shots into a Rejected folder - re-evaluate or delete them later.

Another great feature of this software is its color management system which ensures accurate color representation across different devices such as monitors or printers. Additionally, customizable keyboard shortcuts make using this software even more efficient by allowing users to quickly access their favorite features without having to navigate through menus every time they want something done quickly!

Who Can Benefit From Using FastRawViewer?

Fast Raw Viewer is perfect for anyone who shoots in raw format but doesn't want to spend hours sorting through piles of shots manually! It's also ideal for those who are tired of rendering piles of JPEGs so that they can quickly browse through them with clients or colleagues.

If you're constantly needing quick viewing capabilities along with visually analyzing hundreds or thousands of raw shots while choosing them for further processing then look no further than Fast Raw Viewer! This software provides tools that allow instant adjustment options like white balance presets/color temperature/tint/manual adjustments right while browsing through each shot!

In conclusion:

FastRawViewer provides photographers with an easy-to-use solution for managing their raw image workflow efficiently without sacrificing quality! With its intuitive interface coupled with powerful features like non-destructive culling/editing capabilities along with composite/per-channel display options make this one-of-a-kind photo editing tool worth checking out today!
