I realize I could save some frustration, and get the urge every so often to evaluate DAMs, but it seems that whenever I get a trial license for one, life intervenes in that trial period. I’m aware that this doesn’t let me do more than put photos in a single folder - but it’s been almost sufficient - and as it isn’t much different from my old transparency organization, it feels more like ‘just carrying on. Adobe tries to make fixing that not-a-PITA, but still just be aware.Īs I am an amateur, I’ve mostly been using OCD (dates and location) file system organization. I would caution anyone still hanging on to a non-subscription version of PS, it might mess up your licensing with that product if/when you go to uninstall it. I understand it’s a lot like LR (non LR person here) and comes for the very attractive price of free. You might also think about adding Adobe Bridge to your list of DAMs. Takes just a moment for each photo to come up. Like it says on the tin, it analyzes and renders very quickly. It can also rate photos, which gets stored in an adobe combatable sidecar file - but I don’t bother with that.

I use it as a pre-screening tool in my post processing flow, which goes as follows: copy to PC, scan with FRV, reject anything with blown focus, and looking at histograms, if I haven’t taken full use of the camera’s DR, if I have multiples, reject all but the one that does use it. The list of EXIF fields to be displayed is customizable.Fast Raw Viewer is not a DAM - but it is worthy of a full review.

I expect that FRV will get better and better.įull PDF description and see FastRawViewer web site for more. I’ve been working with Alex Tutubalin (CTO of LibRaw LLC) for some time on RawDigger, and he has gained my respect as a developer who responds quickly to good suggestions.

Note that FastRawViewer can be used as culling program prior to importing into Adobe Lightroom, potentially saving tremendous time over the LR Import/Wait-A-Long-Time/Cull alternative. Anyone shooting sports or weddings or other high-volume jobs will surely want to take a look at FRV. Now LibRaw LLC has released version 1.0 of FastRawViewer (FRV) which aims to provide the most efficient possible culling and selection of images for time pressed photographers. RawDigger is discounted for site readers, see links at end of this post. I’ve been recommending RawDigger for some time now (histograms from yesterday’s post are from RawDigger).
