FastRawViewer

Dedicated to professional and amateur photographers alike, FastRawViewer can render RAW photos at high speeds and provide you with information that can help you quickly decide which image to keep and which to discard.

Its purpose is to save you the countless hours spent to sort and select hundreds of shots, while also providing a simple means to adjust balance, exposure and other similar parameters for RAW and JPEG images.

One of its major advantages is the rendering speed. Making use of the power of modern hardware components and graphics standards (OpenGL and DirectX), it can display photos at a comfortable FPS rate.

The application is compatible with a wide range of camera models and can open various file types: ARW, CR2, CRW, DC2, DCR, DNG, FFF, HDR, NEF, ORF, RAW, RDC, SR2, MEF, RW2, X3F, to name just a few. Not only that it enables you to take a close look at each photo you took, but it also displays the RAW histogram and other details that can help you assess the image qualiy and make certain adjustments.

Focusing on simplicity and accessibility, its interface is simple and intuitive. Most of it is occupied by the actual picture, while the right area hosts the RAW histogram, alongside other image evaluation tools that can help you rate the photo.

FastRawViewer shows you over and under-exposure notifications and enables you to toggle focus peaking, white balance and shadow boost for detail viewing. You can make fine adjustments to the exposure level to enhance the image. Photos can be easily rated and labelled as approved or rejected, which makes it easy for you to sort and select photos to keep.

FastRawViewer is designed to ease the work of photographers, enabling them to quickly go through their RAW shots before proceeding to editing the best ones. With the white balance on and the RAW histogram at hand it is much easier to evaluate the quality of a photo. This application can save you an important amount of time that would otherwise be wasted on looking at and manually sorting camera shots.
