Description

Most viewers decode a photograph when you ask for it and discard it the moment you move on, which is why the second trip through a shoot is no quicker than the first. CoolCroco inverts that. Background workers decode an entire folder once and keep the results resident, within a budget scaled to the machine's own memory and given back whenever something else on the system needs the room. The consequence is that direction stops mattering: arrow backwards through four hundred frames and every one of them is already waiting. Push past fit and the picture is re-decoded at sensor resolution, so 100% means 100%. Sorting costs a keystroke. A assigns a picture to Approved, X to Rejected, Ctrl+Z reverses either. The originals are relocated rather than removed, and their bytes are never touched. Star ratings land in XMP sidecars that Lightroom, Bridge and Capture One already understand. Raw decoding comes from LibRaw, covering every major manufacturer, alongside HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP. Duplicate grouping, burst detection and offline search by picture content are included. Free, for Windows, macOS and Linux. No accounts, telemetry or advertising.

Description

FastRawViewer allows for rapid opening of RAW files, rendering them in real-time rather than relying on embedded JPEGs. This functionality empowers photographers to view RAW images exactly as they would be interpreted by a converter, eliminating any lag or waiting periods. As a result, users can quickly sort and cull RAW files based on the actual quality of the RAW data instead of merely the JPEG previews. FastRawViewer features an array of unique RAW-centric tools, including RAW histogram, RAW statistics, Shadow Boost, Highlight Inspection, Focus Peaking, and per-channel view, alongside more familiar options like Exposure Compensation, White Balance, and Contrast Curves. These tools enable photographers to assess the potential of converters to extract information from the RAW data and to make initial adjustments that will be recognized and applied by Adobe converters. The combination of speed and functionality makes FastRawViewer an invaluable tool for photographers looking to optimize their workflow.
