FastPictureViewer is a small and fast image viewer designed for professional photographers, so simple compared to usual photo viewers that its purpose might not be immediately apparent. The program is optimized to do just one task: browse entire folders of digital photos as quickly as possible, while allowing for rapid sharpness checks (instant flip to 100% view), enabling single-click copy of the keepers to a preset folder along with single-keystroke Adobe XMP and Vista rating / labeling.
A small EXIF window coupled with an instant, high-precision RGB histogram give you all the information you need about the picture. That’s about it, but it makes for one of the fastest image culling tool available, also ideal for full-screen chimping directly off the camera (or memory card), over USB2. Of course FastPictureViewer can just as well be used for speed-browsing, rating or labeling an existing picture collection, but it does not offer any image editing, enhancing or cataloging function, it’s just a bare bone, quick photo viewer.
The free-for-personal-use supports JPEG and the new Microsoft HD Photo (*.hdp, *.wdp) image file format, also known as JPEG XR or “the new JPEG”, along with Adobe XMP metadata for rating and labels (in embedded and/or sidecar file form), Windows Vista photo rating and DirectX (Direct3D) hardware acceleration on select graphic cards, along with EXIF shooting data display and real-time RGB histogram.
FastPictureViewer helps you work faster by taking advantage, when available, of the power of multicore processors and the speed of DirectX (Direct3D) graphic accelerators, all working in concert to speed up viewing experience to unprecedented levels.
FastPictureViewer also features first class support for the upcoming HD Photo / JPEG XR image format with rating metadata reading and writing.
With close to 70′000 downloaded copies (as of early September 2008) and given the great feedback we get from our users, we can say with confidence that FastPictureViewer is, by a large factor, the quickest image viewer in existence on the PC.
We’ve put “fast” back into “fast image viewing”, you have to try it for yourself to see what we mean. If you are looking for the fastest photo viewer, look no further, you’ve just found it and, best of all, it’s free for personal use
