However, Fast RawViewer allows you to download the program to two machines. Now this isn't too big of a deal if you're working on a laptop and using images from a shoot just moments ago. The pop up screen that opens the folders for you to locate your work doesn't preview the raw files, they remain as icons (CR2 in our case as the images were from a Canon) which means you're choosing blindly. Most of the options when choosing the images you wish to view are done in the File tab such as opening a new folder of work to view. The odd one out being Help which accesses the LibRaw or FastRawViewer dedicated website to aid you in your work. There are only five and only four of those pertain to photography. Most of the actions you'll perform in FastRawViewer are done via the drop ntabs in the top left corner of the window.

It's the same principle here.Īs the program launches, a window appears with a large preview pane to the left and some features to the right.

Should you be on the trial, you can always input the key at a later date by clicking on the Help tab in the top left corner of the screen and choosing Buy/Activate Licence.įastRawViewer has a simplistic layout and this is arguably what helps it be so fast. The program comes with a 30 day trial, but if you've bought the product, you can input the licence key and get started. Installation and UseĮven with a painfully slow internet connection, because FastRawViewer is such a small file to download (12.5Mb), it was done in a few minutes. FastRawViewer is available now to download from the LibRaw website and is set at an introductory price from the regular price of $19.99 (£) to $14.99 (£) until January 31st, 2015.
