User Manual

FastRawViewer – user manual

Conventions used in this Manual

The user manual is the same for Windows and Mac versions of FastRawViewer.

All of the standard keyboard shortcuts are given in Windows notation (for example, Ctrl-O).

For OS X please use the following substitutions:

 Ctrl on Windows – is Command on Mac.

 Alt on Windows – is Option on Mac.

All keyboard shortcuts are fully customizable (see below, the “Keyboard Shortcut Settings”).

Throughout this text we will be using default program settings for keyboard / mouse shortcuts.

System Requirements

Windows

 Recommended system: Windows 7 – Windows 8.1, 64-bit.

 32-bit versions Windows: Windows Vista – Windows 8.1

 Windows XP is supported in a separate “Legacy” version of FastRawViewer.

 Processor with SSE3 support or later (meaning released 2005+):

o Intel: Pentium 4 Prescott or later; Celeron D or later, any Core processor, Intel Atom.

o AMD: Athlon 64 or later.

o The complete list of supported processors is available on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE3

 Video card with DirectX 9.0 support or later, or with OpenGL 2.1 or later (see below Choice of

version: OpenGL or DirectX).

FastRawViewer will work with practically any video card with 3D acceleration support,

released 2006+ (users of older cards may experience some problems).

Mac

 Intel-based Mac.

 Processor with 64-bit support (that’s every Intel Mac, excluding Mac Mini 2005).

 Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

 We recommend a video card with OpenGL 2.1 support (that’s every native Mac video card,

that works with OS X 10.6). An OpenGL emulator will be used if such a video card is not

present in the system; some of the advanced features of FastRawViewer will take significant

time to render.
