An easy-to-use application that will display all your photos in fullscreen or in an adjustable window
FastPictureViewer is a useful application that allows you to open and to view image files in order to sort them and to mark the ones that are usable for certain projects. The program also includes a lot of powerful features that makes it suitable to replace the default Windows viewer.
The program displays a lot of information about the images and enables you to customize the interface in order to get the data that is important to you. You can open a single image or select the folder with multiple images from the program’s interface. Right-click on the menu bar to display the main menu and all the important functions.
The image information is displayed in small panels that are displayed over the image. The panels are transparent by default and you can change the opacity from the context menu in order to increase the visibility. The GPS Location Info panel allows you to view the location using Google Maps or Nokia Maps.
You can create your own workspace by arranging the panels into a certain order and select the ones that are displayed. The program remembers the layout for the next usage. Among the information displayed in the program you can view the image RGB Histogram, the XMP and EXIF metadata, the GPS information and the filters applied to the images.
The program allows you to quickly zoom in the image by simply clicking it. Navigating an image using this method can be a little inaccurate but the application also provides you with a Loupe tool that you can use to inspect certain parts of the image. The loupe can be linked with the histogram in order to view the color information at the same time.
The goal of this program is to allow you to inspect a large number of images and to mark the ones that can be published. If you need to view over one hundred images you need to be fast and FastPictureViewer allows you to do that. All the options and commands from the main menu have a keyboard shortcut so you can get a lot of information from one look at the screen and select an image with one button.
The program does not have a significant impact on the computer performance. It used only about 35 MB of memory but that depends on the image that you preview. The processor load was quite high, especially when using the loupe linked with the histogram to inspect a part of the image. However, the program’s response was very good and we did not notice any problems during our tests.
FastPictureViewer is a flexible tool that allows you to view all the popular image formats but also supports professional formatssuch as RAW, MPO or TDI.
Designed with professional photographers in mind, FastPictureViewer is a minimalist 32 and 64-bit image viewer and culling tool engineered for previewing and rating digital images faster. The program features full ICC color management with support for profiled monitors, instant zooming and copy/move/delete functions, plus industry-standard Adobe XMP and Microsoft Photo rating, ideal for fast reviewing, culling and rating of large quantities of images.
It displays shooting data (shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, exposure compensation) and RGB histogram in seamless floating windows and features a built-in program launcher, all in a slick and uncluttered user-interface. A tethering function is also available and works with all cameras fully compatible with the MTP/PTP transfer protocol, which includes most Nikon and recent Canon DSLRs.
The software supports fast previewing of raw image formats such as Nikon NEF, Canon CR2, Panasonic RW2, Olympus ORF and Adobe DNG through manufacturer-supplied or 3rd party image decoders. Standard image formats such as TIFF/MTIFF, JPEG, HD Photo, PNG, GIF, BMP and ICO are supported.
The program has been translated to several languages, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish and is able to browse folders and images who's names can be written in any language, thanks to its support for the Unicode standard. FastPictureViewer is among the firsts of a new breed of hardware accelerated desktop applications and delivers unprecedented speed and ease of use.
This software will help you speed up your digital workflow!
NOTE: Free for personal use. When the trial expires the program reverts to the free Home Basic Edition, which can be used indefinitely with great JPEG and HD Photo support but tethered shooting, raw image formats viewing and external decoder support will be turned off until you enter a license key (the image decoders will continue to function for other Windows applications and Windows Explorer for as long as you keep them installed).
