User Manual

FastRawViewer – user manual

To fine-tune the amount and mode of sharpening, you can use Preferences – Image Display – On-

screen sharpening. We will cover this in more detail in the “Program Settings” section below.

This is also the place where you can switch off the sharpening for JPEG representation, turning on the

Sharpen RAW files only setting.

Viewing File Channels, Viewing in Black and White Mode

FastRawViewer allows per-channel view of the RAW file and also conversion to black and white:

 Menu – View – R channel (Ctrl-3) Red channel is displayed.

 Menu – View – G channel (Ctrl-4) Green channel is displayed.

 Menu – View – B channel (Ctrl-5) Blue channel is displayed.

These modes work with internal RGB image (after demosaicking, exposure adjustment, white balance

setting).

In these modes, the RAW and JPEG histograms are shown only for the displayed channel. If the RAW

file is not RGB, then the histogram will be for the 1

, 2

, and 3

channels respectively.

 Menu – View – RGB full color (Ctrl-2) – back to RGB display mode.

 Menu – View – BW-conversion full color (Ctrl-6) – will show the black and white variant” of

the image (conversion from RGB is performed using the brightness channel formula, same as

the one used while coding JPEG).
