fastrawviewer is fine for culling and uncomplicated editing! I also use it as a browswer to locate images I have edited and want to review. UNFORTUNATELY it does not recognize layered files I have edited in Affinity photo. It can find photos I have saved in either photoshop or tiff mode but these are compacted and I cannot re-edit the layers I would love to see again in Affinity photo. If FRV can read layered files from TIFF or PSD I would have hoped they could do so from Affinity
I recently came to know (from dpreview forum) about fastrawviewer for culling RAW images and to emulate the RAW-editor's outcome. I could not find enough material on youtube. I downloaded the trial version and so far look okay. The RAW rendering is quick. I would like to know your opinion on this work-flow. I really struggle with lightroom to cull RAW images (1:1 takes a lot of time and disk space), and often I lose interest in looking at the pictures. I understand it is a personal method but would be helpful to know if you benefitted from this software and how easily you integrated in your lightroom work-flow.
Fastrawviewer quick image selection (stars) select, select inverse move to rejected. Open up remaining in Capture one, tag those i choose to edit. Go back to fastrawviewer select tagged, select inverse move to rejected. Chuck rejected into trash.
LR only shows jpeg previews, rawdigger and fastrawviewer show actual raw data, thus more precise and correct. Rawdigger exposure shows you everything you need to know about the exposure of the image with actual raw data, NOT jpeg previews like LR.
