Betty Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I just downloaded the trial version of FastRaw Viewer and want to use it with Affinity Photo. I saw a posting that said to do this I hae to set AP as an External Editor? Also do I need to set up a shortcut that at the end the files I select are automatically loaded into AP? If so how? Thanks yes a Newbie here Quote
Pšenda Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 a) Obviously it is a question (not a suggestion or request), so it would be better to put it in the correct thread/group - so someone can answer you at all. b) Rather, it's question to completely different application (FastRAW). But find its setting is not a problem (first item): https://www.google.com/search?q=Fast+Raw+external+editor&oq=Fast+Raw+external+editor&aqs=chrome..69i57.21270j0j7&client=tablet-android-asus-rev&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Find the "External editors" on page.

smadell Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 In FastRawViewer, you can set Affinity Photo as an External Editor in the Preferences dialog: You can add a keyboard shortcut by using the menu choice: File > Customize > Keyboard Shortcuts. Choose "External Editors" from the list on the left, and assign a shortcut, if you want. Once you have a Raw file selected in FastRawViewer (remember, it must be selected, not just being viewed) you can pass that file to Affinity Photo: Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023); 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 18
smadell Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Forgot to mention this... As you probably know, Affinity Photo only handles 1 Raw file at a time. This is why I have left the "Supports Batch Processing" checkbox UN-checked in the Preferences dialog above. You cannot realistically choose multiple files in FastRawViewer and pass them all to Affinity Photo. In my example, above, I have selected only a single Raw file and am about to open that file in AP. However, I also have a copy of DxO PhotoLab, which DOES support batch processing. I can choose multiple images in FastRawViewer, and then use the menu choise Select/Batch > Batch Run Program > [Name of Program], which will open and select multiple images in the batch-capable application I designate.

Actually, it can open multiple RAW files in Affinity Photo, each into the Develop Persona, but it does not open them very fast when you do that.

I am using the FastStone Image Viewer, and it certainly does not develop the contents of the RAW file. But because thumbnail is quite large (1600x1200 in the 3720x2800 ORF), it looks like a RAW file content view.

Quote FastRawViewer opens Raw files extremely quickly and renders them on-the-fly, instead of just displaying embedded JPEGs. It allows a photographer to see the RAW exactly as a converter will "see" it, without any delays or waiting time, guaranteeing the possibility to sort and cull RAW images lightning fast and based on the quality of the RAW itself, not JPEG previews. FastRawViewer's RAW-based tools (unique ones such as RAW histogram, RAW statistics, Shadow Boost, Highlight Inspection, Focus Peaking, per-channel view, as well as familiar ones like Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Contrast Curves) allow one to estimate what a converter will be able to squeeze from the RAW image data and make preliminary adjustments to the RAW file, which will be acknowledged in Adobe converters. FastRawViewer provides tools for the rating, labeling and sorting photos, and filtering of any number of RAW images. FastRawViewer is very user-friendly and seamlessly integrates into any existing RAW workflow. It is extremely flexible; nearly all of its settings can be tuned and keyboard/mouse shortcuts can be changed according to individual habits and preferences. https://www.fastrawviewer.com Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

So what exactly does this mean? How does 'converting' a RAW file differ from developing it? We know that different RAW developers produce different results, so what is it this app "sees"?
