That was exactly my thinking too. But this new FastRawViewer seems to solve this problem.

Yep, definitely. That was why it interested me. More that than the fact that I'm seeing a RAW rather than a JPG. For me, culling is about general exposure and composition/moment finding. RAW is great, but JPG suffices perfectly well at that stage. If this allowed me to shoot just RAW in the fuji's that'd be great.

My previous post was largely targeted to the early part of the thread where people were suggesting PM workarounds.

Great tip - thanks, wonderful software and WAY cheaper than PhotoMechanic

Thinking more about this issue...

Zalmy, quick question about the RAW+JPG approach on the Fujis. Does this not have a few disadvantages?

- Does it not reduce buffer?
- Does it not eat through cards quicker?
- If shooting to two cards, I want RAW on both cards, not RAW on one and JPG on the other. The benefit of dual card cameras to me is that if one card dies I still have a good RAW backup. Are people shooting RAW+JPG to both cards?

Sure the RAW+JPG thing solves the PM problem but it seems like it has some significant tradeoffs. Am I misunderstanding?


- I don't gun too much so I never bumped into the buffer yet.
- I shoot with 128gb cards so I never really run out of space
- I shoot RAW + Jpeg to both cards

Good thread... glad I found it. I purchased fast raw viewer and it's a fantastic culling tool. I shoot both Canon and Sony and got frustrated with low res ARW file views until now. Thanks!!!

I like FastRawViewer for what it does, but being realistic, it is not a substitute for Photo Mechanic, which can do so many more things in terms of file management. Ideally, the two programs would be used in concert, but they do not seem to share information, e.g. ratings and colors. Does anyone know of a way around this?
