FastPictureViewer Pro 1.95 Build 400

FastPictureViewer Pro is the best friend for Adobe Lightroom and other digital asset management systems: use it to sort your photos before importing them for editing and development. FPV Pro has all the features you need to instantly decide if you want to keep a photo or not: complete color management for reliable color rendition, zooming to 100% and back, to verify for sharpness, RGB histogram to judge the exposure, instant lost shadows or highlights view to see where the bad shadows and burned highlights zones are located and their range, and EXIF shooting data at a glimpse.

Consider the next example: you are a sports or wedding photographer coming back from an task with 1000 raw photos, taken with a modern DSLR (16-20MP range). Your main task is to review those pictures and select the ones worthy to be further processed. Let's assume you will pick 10% of the pictures for printing and processing. You have a modern computer with a good processor and fast drives.

In this example, working with FastPictureViewer Pro ahead of Adobe Lightroom to sort the 90% of pictures that you are not going to use right away makes you recover about 50 minutes on a 1000 pictures job. The majority of the saving time comes from not importing all pictures in Lightroom and wait, then remove or set aside the one you don't want.
