You can do a default conversion of raw files. It also does a different conversion than was done by the camera so don't be surprised if the resulting JPG looks different from the out of camera JPG even if you don't tell Batch Convert to make any changes. The Batch Convert tool does let you change the image size and even appearance so it is a useful tool for use with RAW images. As far as I can tell the only thing FastStone can actually do to a RAW file is to use the Batch Convert Tool to convert it into a JPG. I have tried various things, including reading the manual. If you select a RAW file and edit it you are actually editing the embedded JPG. I would like to know how you are editing the RAW file in FastStone.

Obviously it's a personal choice - who knows, I may even try a different workflow just 'cos it's a new year. My preference is for FS as a 'Swiss Army Knife' tool. As I use a rather old laptop the concept of colour managed display is way beyond my reach.

If I was using a different tool full time for image editing then I think it would be good for first view/culling etc. The basic drop/draw/rotate tools all work well. I like the additional exif display but find some parts of the file/user operations a but clumsy.

tgz (that's zipped standalone portable version if you're a windows user) WRT XnViewMP, as a linux user I appreciate the cross-platform nature and either a package file or fully working. However as a linux user it does have the overhead of needing to run under Wine - which it does almost impeccably apart from a glitch in the thumbnail view which requires the installation of a venerable dll from 2001 - which itself limits one to using Wine 2.1 - nothing newer.įaststone has a number of user customisations for mouse and keyboard which I find very useful as they do speed up long view/culling sessions. The batch resize tool has been handy for customising my icon theme and you can even use FS as a poor man's Powerpoint with the draw tool and slideshow creator. I curate photos for our local U3A photo groups and find the multiple search and replace features in the file renaming tool a real bonus. You do need to adjust the RAW settings to get past working on the embedded jpeg - but TBH I have only used that very occasionally. I am a long time user of FastStone and find that for both RAW and JPEG editing it provides 99.9% of all my needs. How do Faststone and XnViewMP compare from a feature and performance standpoint? I often hear that XnViewMP would be a better match for my needs. Works well for me, except that while it is 'color aware', it is not 'color managed'. I've been a long time Faststone user - mostly for quick viewing and image culling - less so for editing.
