Our product is a perfect complement to
existing Digital Asset Management suites such as
Adobe Lightroom or IDimager, helping users perform
their initial accept/reject selection and rating
much
faster than before, typically in less than 1/4 of the time it would take
to perform the same task using the DAM alone.
|
|
FastPictureViewer Professional supports most image formats and comes with
first-class support for raw formats from more
than 320 digital camera models, while support for
specialized formats
- such as OpenEXR, JPEG2000, TGA, PNM or DDS - can be added through our own FastPictureViewer Codec Pack add-on.
Our viewer can also be extended by 3rd-party image decoders
such as PSD or DjVu,
supplied by other vendors, with more to come in the
future.

Professional Highlights:

Background:
FastPictureViewer Professional was inspired by a 2004 article from
writer Eamon Hickey, describing the near impossible
workflow of a picture editor working for a large
sports magazine (SI), reviewing more than 16'000 raw
files in just 6 hours. Today with FPV Pro and a
modern 64-bit computer, the same task can probably be
completed in 3 hours or less: check Eamon's article
- an excellent and entertaining read for any photo enthusiast - and
if your workflow even remotely resembles what he
describes then FastPictureViewer Professional is exactly what
you need to get the job done, quickly and
efficiently.
The more pictures you have to review, the better: FastPictureViewer Professional was designed to handle large digital images thousands at a time and makes it easy to quickly view, rate, backup, copy, move and delete almost any number of photos. The software was also designed with the needs of photographers in mind, so it supports industry-standards and first-class color management, along with essential tools like EXIF and RGB histogram, always available in floating "head-up-displays" that update themselves instantly, so they can be checked for every image without additional keystrokes. FastPictureViewer does not try to be the next Swiss Army knife of image viewers, on the contrary it's a simple program that does a few things very well. FastPictureViewer Professional comes with a fast export-for-web function that creates lean-and-mean, web-ready small and medium size JPEGs, with optional sharpening, from any supported image format: great for quick web uploads, or to hand (or email) low-resolution copies to customers right after a shoot. The exported JPEGs exhibits an ideal balance between file weight and image quality, making them perfect for use on websites and photo-sharing communities. FastPictureViewer Professional is a great replacement for ViewNX2 as a NEF viewer, providing greater speed and much improved stability. The program can also be used as an excellent CR2 viewer as well as for any of the other 20+ raw formats directly supported. The program features efficient batch delete and batch file management functions: users can streamline their workflow by automating file copy, move, export-for-web and delete operations using functionality built directly in the program. The batch file processor, resembling Microsoft Outlook™ message processing rules engine, let users begin with point-and-click ease and plain English file management rules, then later dig deeper and write their own JavaScript or VBScript custom actions and conditions, to automate their workflows in virtually every imaginable ways! |

About us:
Axel Rietschin Software Developments, author and publisher of
FastPictureViewer Professional and the
FastPictureViewer Codec Pack products, is a
privately held "family business" established in
Geneva, Switzerland, the country of precision watches, delicious chocolate and blazing fast image viewers.
Axel started serious programming and hobby photography as a youngster almost at the same time, getting his first C compiler in 1983 and a Nikon FA shortly thereafter. He learned the rudiments of photography from his long-time friend Philippe Ayral, renowned French visual artist and former photojournalist, helping Philippe get around his first Apple II and Mac 128K computers at the same time. Axel first worked independently then for several companies ranging from small startups to huge multinationals, as software design engineer, lead developer, systems architect or CTO, before beginning formal studies of mathematics and starting the FastPictureViewer projects as a side job in early 2008. FastPictureViewer Professional is closing fast on its first million downloads as of mid 2010. |
