Faststone Download Fixed
Avice Michonski
Hi, sorry to jump in on this conversation, but I've just recently put Affinity 2 and faststone image viewer on my PC (finally ditched Adobe) I found this conversation as I'm trying to link the 2 together so I can edit using external program, I've gone into settings but can't fathom out how to do it, can anyone give me step by step guidance please ?
I will get the negatives out of the way first. If you want to work with raw files, forget faststone, other software is much better. Faststone works well on JPEGs. Main omissions that prevent me from giving 5 stars are an eye dropper for setting the WB in one go. An instant fix facility and a pseudo colour temperature slider that works similar to Raw developers. Now the good points. It is fast, even on modest hardware. Has most basic functions and they work well. I love the shadow/highlight ...
You can get Google Picassa to import from your camera directly into the folder for faststone, if you tick the right box it'll even "safe delete" (delete only the imported photos) so you're ready to start with a fresh camera. You might even be able to get it to do it automagically whenever you plug in your camera/memory card.
we use wifi unit on our cannon 5d,the one above should work with any cam that will take an sd card, it makes doing slideshows at events so easy, about 5 sec after the photo has been shot its there in lightroom waiting to be edited,(we just set lightroom to auto import from the foder where the pics are landing, if we are doing an ongoing slides show tweek/crop/censor ect then just export to a folder on another pc that is running faststone or if its just a one off run of the pics we just run a slideshow from lightroom and fade to it from watchout
