[Leica] Reviewing RAW data rapidly

[Adam Bridge]

I’d like to thank Frank for his recommendation of FastRawViewer which is really quite amazing at its job.

It’s also a great test of multi-core CPUs and GPU. I skimmed through a set of >3,000 Fuji X-T3 images by holding down the right arrow key. Looking at the CPU and GPU usage I saw that I was using all 12 cores just about equally at 50% capacity and the GPU (AMD Radeon Pro Vega II 32 GB graphics) at about 25%. I was running off the very fast internal SSD.

Stopping, adding a rating, and continuing was very straightforward. Ratings, etc are writing to side-car files.

This will be an incredibly useful tool for looking at large batches of images before pulling them into either Lightroom or Capture One. I’m going to buy it.

Thanks to the LUG for replies both here and direct to me. Greatly appreciated.

I don’t post often but I lurk.

Best regards,
