FastRawViewer (FRV) saves changes to the RAW file to an XMP file. I have noticed that PS CC2015 imports those changes when I send a file y using the "Run" command. When I send a file to DxOOptics Pro, it appears that those are not opened. Is there a way to have DxO open the file and use the adjustments that were made in FRV? Thank you.

Hello,
I have just purchased FRV and I am trying to learn quickly.
I read on the manual that we can set the tonal curve to match the Adobe camera RAW (or LR) and it is also possible to use their hidden exposure corection. I was wondering if I could have the same match with photos developed in Nikon Capture NX-D.
Is there a way to see the same colors (tonal curve), contrast, exposure and white balance ? Maybe using a Nikon camera profile ?
Thank you and keep going on with this great software !

Hi
I want to import files from folder that already have a labels from lightroom, but i can't see the labels on frv. What should I do?
Thanks

Hello,
I had to reinstall my PC and with it I need to transfer FastRawViewer preferences to new system because it's heavily personalised. Is there any way to do it simply? For example is there some config file, ini etc.? I have my windows user folder backuped.

Is it possible to open FastRawViewer  from the command line or a batch process?
I use a batch file to set keyword into photos (side cars - .xmp) as part of my pre-Lightroom process. I would like to call FastRawViewer and tell it to open a specific folder from this .bat file. I have not seen how, and need your help.
Thank you.

Is it possible to move all rejected raw files to the rejected subfolder, instead of doing this one by one. What I want to do is to rate certain photos in my folder as reject and then once I have gone through all the photos, I would like to filter such that I only have all the ‘reject’ photos in the filmstrip (This much is currently possible in FRV). Finally, I would like to select all (something like ctrl+A in windows) and move these photos to Rejected subfolder. I am not able to do this last part.

FRV seems to be optimised to quickly cull out bad images.  This is a useful function but I find the biggest challenge is to sort out the best images for futher processing.  For example, I just returned from a trip to Africa and have 13,842 images that I need sort through to find the best images.  I expect fewer than 1% to qualify as best images.  I use a multi-step process that starts by finding good images, then a second round to find better images, and then a final round to find the best images.  FRV has the metadata tools needed for such a process.

I have a large collection of images in my LR database that I want to cull.  LR is too slow and I am considering using FastRawViewer.  The suggested FRV workflow is for culling prior to loading into LR.  Can I run FRV on images that are in LR database and mark them with the "Set as rejected (X)" flag?  That enables me to use LR to delete the images so I don't end up with missing images in the LR database.

Hi,
Focus Peaking on JPEG files work fine but they seem to be completely useless for RAW files (I'm using Fuji X-T1 .raf files).
When I'm focus peaking on raw files, the entire picture is highlighted in red. On JPEG files, the actual focus area is highlighted in red.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it normal? Does it only occur on fuji .raf file? I'm thinking of getting a license but the only reason I'll be using it is for culling using Focus Peaking.
Thanks!

Hello all,
 
I have designed a printed circuit board with two MT9J003 10Mp image sensors. These produce a RAW file without any descriptive elements in it, just 3664 x 2748 array of Bayer CFA pixels, ordered RG/GB, each pixel occupies 16 bits. The pixel value uses 12 bits, 4 bits are unused.
 
Can FastRawViewer read such a file? 
 
Best Regards,
