It can open any large images with speed, due to its hardware acceleration support. Poor integration with Windows Explorer MoreįastPictureViewer lives up to its name.
It tried to find T&C´s on the site but could not find them. Should have scrolled down a bit for a small, hardly noticeable, weird disclaimer that the developer is now using to counter my claim. This is not the claim of the developer and the tethering functions are indeed rather limited.Last but not least, the site advertises a 30-day money back guarantee. Another thing: in one of the reviews the tethering features of the product are praised, including mentioning of a live "tethered" view. If you want to use this software for a professional workflow (culling) I can only say: don't, it looks nice in the beginning but once you start using it the flaws are too big to improve your workflow. Also, the guy keeps on focusing on 1 detail of my complaint (TIFF display, he blames Microsoft referring to a knowledge db article about thumbnail creation, which is not the issue here) while ignoring repeatedly all other issues. I never experienced such rude and aggressive customer support. In other words: I went back to LR (4) for culling and if I want to view and zoom a large set of photos quickly I can go to View NX.Already noted in other reviews: the developer has an attitude. Fast Picture Viewer cannot handle them well and when you are browsing through a directory of photos you have to wait up to a minute to have a TIFF file displayed. I think most photographers have TIFF files in photo directories, created when retouching a RAW file in Photoshop. On my notebook (only 4Gb RAM, quad core i7) start-up times are between 8 and 20 seconds when clicking on a RAW file thumbnail or when opening with the last used directory. Sometimes this integration does not work at all and you don't see any thumbnail in your Explorer.
Mind you: I gave it max usage of RAM (it uses between 5 and 6 Gb then).The integration with Windows Explorer looks nice, but once you click on a thumbnail you may have to wait for many seconds to display a RAW file. It starts reasonably fast on my editing computer (W7, 12 Gb, 8 core i7, 1Gb graphics card) but not anywhere near the 'zero' seconds start claim. If the program would live up to its promises, it would be part of my workflow.The problem is: it is not fast at all. I like the clean interface (hardly any menu items, just shortcuts). Nowhere as fast as advertised and too many issues. By Anonymous reviewed on February 22, 2013
