FastRawViewer is then opened, and the folder of images can be selected from the left sidebar. Files are copied directly from the card to the computer.
My new workflow now makes use of FastRawViewer to review images before importing to Lightroom.
With a 30-day free trial I immediately downloaded the Mac OS version of the software (it also is available for Windows). The package is meant to review images for culling BEFORE importing to Lightroom. FastRawViewer allows instantaneous views of RAW and in-camera JPG images without the need for rendering. While scrolling photography forums I came across a recommendation for a software package called FastRawViewer (). On top of that, while "building previews" the software slows the reviewing process even further.
This can seem like an eternity when there are so many files to review. Each frame has to be rendered before viewing at its highest resolution, and it can take (depending on computer processor) 10 - 15 seconds for an image to appear. Have 10 years of photos on Apples 'Photo'. Setup: A7iii iMac (little older, so not high on horsepower). Anyone have a good process/method they can recommend Im clearly learning as I go. However, Lightroom can be frustratingly slow when trying to review/cull 2000 images that were just imported. Was thinking about FastRawViewer to get my RAW files processed before exporting to then keep organized in Photo on my Mac. We use FastViewer across the board for support, software installations at customer sites, sales presentations, web conferences and even for online training.
Anyone who has used Adobe Lightroom knows how powerful an image processor the package provides.
