#FASTRAWVIEWER TRIAL PLUS#

If FRV were as capable as PM, then I could eliminate PM, and if PL were as capable as FRV and PM combined, then I could use one “integrated” application, similar to Adobe LR plus PS (with DxO plugins, etc).Įnd correspondence to FRV. This is cumbersome because PM does not have raw viewer and neither FRV nor PL has the PM catalog, storing, and retrieving facilities of PM.

The PL output file plus the PL image processing settings file will then be put by PM into the catalog and directory on the removable USB drive. PL will process the NEF to whatever output format the client wants (typically, a JPEG, but much better than from the body). Using the catalog, PM will send selected NEF images to PL. PM will catalog the selected files with my catalog naming to a second external removable USB drive in a directory tree named by my choice. Use FRV to view the NEF files on the external USB drive and keep the NEF and body JPEG files – sending each such kept file to PM. To be clear, because of limited capabilities of each permanently licensed application (not the rental “subscription” of Adobe, with eviction once the rent is not paid – a permanent “silent partner”), I need to use a three stage pipeline workflow, and to verify this will work.Ĭopy camera memory card to an external removable USB drive. Note that FRV currently supports Z9 NEF (with HE and HE* soon to be supported). I am copying below my most recent email to FRV TS once the Z9 is supported by PL, I am interested in the feasibility of the workflow pipeline I have outlined.

I have been in communication with FRV technical support (TS), and with PhotoMechanic (PM) TS. I have had several working photographers recommend FastRawViewer (FRV).
