User Manual

FastRawViewer – user manual

Exposure compensation and white balance are written to newly created XMP files according to the

setting of Adobe Process Version in Preferences – XMP – Adobe process version for newly created

XMP files.

To set color labeling scheme to be compatible with CaptureOne, set Preferences – XMP – Write

photoshop:Urgency tag with color labels (for PhaseOne C1). This setting turns on the recording of

the XMP-tag photoshop:Urgency, which is used by CaptureOne to recognize and set color labels.

Compatibility with RawPhotoProcessor (.rpps files)

FastRawViewer can create basic .rpps files (those contain conversion settings for

RawPhotoProcessor).

The following parameters are recorded:

 Exposure compensation.

 White Balance.

This option is controlled through Preferences – Other – Write RPPS files checkbox. Another

checkbox, Preferences – Other – Force RPPS files creation, forces the creation of .rpps files

immediately after a RAW file is opened in FastRawViewer, with automatic exposure compensation

and current white balance recorded as initial settings.

To import such .rpps files for further use, while in RawPhotoProcessor navigate to Menu - Settings -

Import Multiple settings and select both RAW and .rpps files in the folder that you wish to process.

The settings in .rpps files will be imported into RawPhotoProcessor History and the corresponding

RAW files will be opened using the parameters you've set in .rpps files.

FastRawViewer behavior while creating or updating .rpps files:

1. If .rpps file exists, and exposure compensation and/or white balance are changed in

FastRawViewer, the values for white balance and/or exposure are replaced in .rpps file

with the new ones. Also, if Force RPPS files creation is checked, those values in .rpps file

are replaced upon opening the raw file.

2. If .rpps file does not exist, and Preferences - Other – RPPS files – RPPS Template field

points to some readable file, this template will be used to create specific .rpps file for the

current raw file; once again, current FastRawViewer settings will be used for exposure

compensation and / or white balance fields.

Ratings and Labels

FastRawViewer can set XMP ratings and XMP labels that are compatible with Adobe products (and

other programs which support XMP).

Ratings are set as a number from 1 to 5. The setting is changed via Menu– XMP Metadata or by

pressing the 1…5 buttons in the XMP Metadata panel.
