Fast Raw Viewer Serial 580
Demetrius Dade
Yes, Faststone is good, and gives you the option of viewing either the uncorrected raw image or the embedded JPEG. It has lots of other useful functions as well. Although it's technically free, it's really donationware.
It works similarly to that of the ACDSee manager. (More accurately, when I've used it, I was less frustrated moving to it from ACDSee, it looks nothing like ACDSee). ACDSee is still better in my eyes, but it does cost money.
I have been using Faststone for years and on Windows it is the best I have found. You can do side-by-side views too and I use that all the time to compare similar photos. Tag photos for deletion, etc. I have mine set to just show the embedded JPEGs in the raw file because that is fastest. I am just checking for things like composition, total goofs, etc. and delete those before importing the rest into Lightroom Classic. Occasionally after getting a photo into Lightroom and looking at the raw I will delete it, but that is rare. Most of my culling happens in Faststone. The program is very fast and rather small.
I have never found anything nearly as good for Macs. XnView MP is okay, but clunky compared to Faststone. There is still no Apple Silicon version and I have found that it is glitchy using Rosetta 2 and also slow to go through photos. Not nearly as fast, instantaneous, as Faststone on Windows. The XnView MP developer has been saying on his forum for months that he will make an Apple Silicon version, but nothing yet. Very low priority, I think.
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?
What's the best camera for travel? Good travel cameras should be small, versatile, and offer good image quality. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best.
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
I notice the new map viewer takes a performance hit as soon as you start adding more than 15-20 feature layers in one map. I can even have these layers all off by default and still experience issues panning around the basemap. Overall it's slow and laggy.
In Classic, I have some county-wide maps with 100+ layers and it handles it well. I really like what the new viewer provides in grouping layers, so I wish I could migrate these maps into the new viewer.
I don't really see much difference between them when I open the same map with 31 layers in Classic vs beta viewer (most of my layers are Mapservices). Edge seems to utilize my GPU, whereas Chrome doesn't, so get better performance with Edge than Chrome.
Like @RhettZufelt , I see big differences between browsers when using the new Map Viewer. The new generation of tools doesn't perform nearly as well in Firefox as it does in any Chromium-based browser, like Chrome and Edge.
I do not, however, see much difference between the new and old map viewers for any given map. The new map viewer, though, does not have the same feature limit of the Classic. So if you have > 10k features in a layer, the map may appear to be taking longer to load, when it's actually loading more features than is possible in Classic.
I am not the poster but I can speak to why they might need 100 layers as we have a single utility map with 250 layers. We are a farming company that manages ranch data, irrigation data, electrical system data etc. and it is not practical for us to manage a map for every company need. Our users are farmers and fieldworkers who are used to doing things on yellow pads and if we told them they had to switch maps for different all their needs they'd go back to yellow pads. Similarly, we have two people managing maps for over 200 employees. It would not be practical for us to manage that in the backend when we can create one map that serves all our needs. We'd rather have a slow map that suits our needs than 20 fast maps that are a headache for users to switch between and creators to manage. I think sometimes ESRI gets so caught creating new programs and softwares that are very interesting on paper but aren't practical in the field.
@chill_gis_dude fair enough. Give the Gentle Users what they want... That said, I can't imagine wading through 250 layers to find those I want to see. That said, group layers could be used effectively to organize those layers into "maps" of sorts where many layers can be turned on at once at the group level.
Also coming in updates will be optimizations for things like not loading a layer until it is turned visible or in the visible range. Leveraging scale dependencies then will be a good practice for performance optimization.
Aye - My company's big 200-300 layer application is really just a big data repository for the whole state to pull parcels, floodplains, utilities, city limits, etc.... We do have layers grouped by county and users usually only need to access the layers within that county group. There are some cases where a project might fall on a county line but groups make it easy to check on the counties that they need. It starts to bog down the map viewer with that much data (understandably so) when it comes to grouping, renaming, moving layers, but it has gotten a little better through the months and we started making sub region maps vs whole state maps to account for it.
Can you please reference the ESRI release documentation that states further detail on "Also coming in updates will be optimizations for things like not loading a layer until it is turned visible or in the visible range"
My question relates to testing I have been doing recently with a map that contains 100+ layers coming from multiple map services on our ArcGIS Server 11.1. I have tested the following scenarios:
As noted the performance of the ArcGIS Online map widget is very good when compared to the widget in ArcGIS Portal 11.1. My aim is to determine whether the ArcGIS Online optimization you note above is the reason for this improvement, and if the optimization will be implemented in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2.
I don't know of any release documentation with details, at the time I believe I got that bit of info directly from the dev leads. I also don't track parity between ArcGIS Online and what capabilities/features are in which version of Enterprise. Suggesting posting directly on the Enterprise Community.
BTW - with the Wednesday (28th) update, if you have over 10 layers (include those in group layers) in your ArcGIS Online web map, a Search tool appears in the Layers pane to help you locate specific layers.

Summary: AliView is an alignment viewer and editor designed to meet the requirements of next-generation sequencing era phylogenetic datasets. AliView handles alignments of unlimited size in the formats most commonly used, i.e. FASTA, Phylip, Nexus, Clustal and MSF. The intuitive graphical interface makes it easy to inspect, sort, delete, merge and realign sequences as part of the manual filtering process of large datasets. AliView also works as an easy-to-use alignment editor for small as well as large datasets.
Availability and implementation: AliView is released as open-source software under the GNU General Public License, version 3.0 (GPLv3), and is available at GitHub (www.github.com/AliView). The program is cross-platform and extensively tested on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows systems. Downloads and help are available at
I played around with it for about an hour before feeling comfortable enough to use it to start culling. It is SO MUCH FASTER than Lightroom. My image previews loaded so quickly allowing me to get through my mountain of images fast.
Hugo, I used to use volo view for a dwg viewer and that worked fine but autocad now only has the desktop viewer and I have not checked to see if that can view DWGs or not and I did not want to download just to look at it.
We use AutoDesk TrueView, running Windows XP in Parallels Desktop. It has proved to be a reliable tool for viewing incoming AutoCAD files and checking outgoing AutoCAD exports. It is Windows only, but is available for Mac users with the expenditure of several hundred dollars and a little bit of time. It was worth it to us.
Katie, tahnk you. I already contacted them and they suggested checking an option in the Preferences called "Use Software Open GL". It has worked for many files, but huge DWG files still crash or behave very slow. Anyway, the situation is better. But fot bigger files, the only option I have is to import them into VW.
We have uploaded a model to the viewer showing a site plan. When we try to view it on an iPad, the feedback we are getting is that the viewer moves too fast/ that the model is too sensitive. Is there a way to slow down the viewer speed?
As a photographer (amateur) I have tens of thousands of RAW files and in my work flow one of the first things I do is review my photographs so that I can choose what to discard or mark as worthy to develop further.
Please, please, please, I don't want this file browser / viewer / manager to have editing capabilities or fancy gimmicks, just the ability to take a mass of very large RAW and affinity files and display them in number of formats, i.e. in grid form, film strip, etc etc very vey fast.
