The application is compatible with a wide range of camera models and can open various file types: ARW, CR2, CRW, DC2, DCR, DNG, FFF, HDR, NEF, ORF, RAW, RDC, SR2, MEF, RW2, X3F, to name just a few. Making use of the power of modern hardware components and graphics standards (OpenGL and DirectX), it can display photos at a comfortable FPS rate. One of its major advantages is the rendering speed. Satisfactory rendering speed and generous camera support Its purpose is to save you the countless hours spent to sort and select hundreds of shots, while also providing a simple means to adjust balance, exposure and other similar parameters for RAW and JPEG images. Just the typical “has anybody else done this before” approach.Dedicated to professional and amateur photographers alike, FastRawViewer can render RAW photos at high speeds and provide you with information that can help you quickly decide which image to keep and which to discard. DSC_4455), I wondered if someone else had come up with anything interesting. The Finder, the Houdahspot search app, and the EagleFiler app are my main organizational tools.Īnd finally, to answer your question, while I had some ideas of what I wanted to immediately know about a photo beyond its camera-assigned name (e.g. I prefer a small set of folders with meaningfully named files in them. Second, keeping metadata out of my filenames implies an index of some sort or a bunch of externally applied keywords and ratings (aka “tags”) that haven’t appealed to me the numerous times I’ve used them. And I was coming off a couple of years of using Lightroom and not wanting to be stuck in their catalog any longer. I’m curious, why is it you’re looking for this philosophy of naming images? What are you feeling like you’re missing?įirst, I’m not much of a photographer, so we’re talking about a low-volume workflow here. NeoFinder NeoFinder - Digital Asset Management Softwareĭiscover NoFinder, the Digital Asset Management tool for macOS and iOS. It is still in active development and the developer has since added more photo centric functionality (including migration tools from Media Pro). Once iView finally stopped working (it was 32 bit IIRC), I searched for a new cataloging app, I tried aquite a few, and eventually found NeoFinder, and ancient (version 1 released in May 1996!) Mac app that wasn’t perfect but did what I needed to do. The Photo Mechanic Catalog tool was legendary vaporware at this time. I was also using Photo Mechanic to ingest, edit (in the sense of selecting the best images and deleting the rest), and adding metadata (especially keywords). It was, IMHO, an excellent cataloging tool. Working with medium format film/sensors is another notch up and is even more demaning of the lenses required.Īgain, this is to the best of my knowledge and hopefully mostly correct.īack in the day I used iView / Expressions Media / Media Pro as it went from independent to Microsoft to Camera One to abandonware. You get a similar effect as you move from wide angle to telephoto, why a 200mm lens at f/2.8 is so beloved by wedding and fashion photographers. This makes it easier to create creamy, soft backgrounds with beautiful bokeh, but harder to get deep focus in macro photo, for instance. The outer parts of the lens cover an area that lies outside of the crop-sized sensor and also produces that zoomed-in effect of 1.6x or 1.5x depening on manufacturer.īecause larger sensors are physically larger and usually have significantly higher resolution, it is more sensitive to the “circle of confusion”. Using a lens constructed for a full-frame sensor on a crop-frame body gives you the effect you are describing where you are using the best part of the lens. This also has the effect of increasing the depth-of-field, making what appears in focus extend further on the Z-axis. “Stopping down” refers to using a smaller aperture, in order to let in less light. Well, I’m not confused, but I may be explaining myself poorly. If you stop-down a lens, using a smaller aperture, you are cropping off the outer parts of the lens where cheaper lens have more distortion/aberations. I think you are confusing crop factor with resolution and focus.
