FastPictureViewer Professional is a color-managed RAW image viewer, built for photographers with the aim to speed up image culling, rating and selection. FastPictureViewer is, quite simply, the quickest image viewer ever built, engineered to take advantage of modern 64-bit hardware and powerful graphic cards, delivered in a slick content-first user interface. It supports rating and copying images on the fly, as you view them either in windowed mode or full screen.
FastPictureViewer Professional supports direct upload to pro-oriented photo websites such as Zenfolio: export and upload JPEGs, TIFFs, RAW files, everything, directly to your Zenfolio account with optional automatic sRGB conversion, rescaling, metadata stripping and more!
The program supports most image formats and comes with first-class support for raw formats from more than 500 digital camera models, while support for specialized formats - such as Photoshop PSD, OpenEXR, JPEG2000, TGA, PNM, HDR or DDS - can be added through our own FastPictureViewer Codec Pack add-in. FastPictureViewer can also be extended by 3rd-party image decoders such as DjVu, supplied by other vendors, with more to come in the future.
The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack 3.8 (32/64 bit)

The Codec Pack is compatible with Windows 10 Desktop, Windows 8.x Desktop, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP SP3 and also creates thumbnails for Google SketchUp, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, EPS and Adobe PDF-XMP.

- Instantaneous display of the next image in line (when computer resources allows) through speculative image pre-loading and in-memory caching.

- Fast tethered shooting through the standard MTP/PTP protocol: tether a Nikon D700, D800, D3S, D3X, D4 in 64 bit, today, storing pictures on CF card too.

System requirements:
- FastPictureViewer runs natively on 64 bit and 32 bit Windows 10, Windows 8 and 8.1 Desktop, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Development and testing is currently hosted on Windows 8.x 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit, where both the native 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the program and its companion FastPictureViewer Codec Pack are fully tested.
- The program also runs on Windows XP SP3 with some limitations but beware that some XP display drivers have quirks that might prevent them to support FastPictureViewer's hardware-accelerated mode: use Windows Vista or later, 64-bit if your system supports it, for best GPU support and optimal performances.
Changelog:
- This release addresses an issue occurring on Windows 10 where the program can crash when right-clicking into a text input window where you can enter substitution variables. Those input windows can be found in the Renaming Template editor (F2) as well as in the File Utilities plug-in (Ctrl+F). The program customizes the default context menu for edit fields and add custom options letting users easily paste variables into the text, and a change in recent versions of Windows 10 caused the menu customization in FPV Pro to crash. The issue has been corrected.
