If you want to do in fullscreen mode and in view mode you will need to change the shortcut/hotkeys on both of those separately as each "switched mode" (browser/view/fullscreen) has it's own set of hotkeys in preferences. The other option would be to go into keyboard preferences and set up a shortcut to Crop, Save, Next Image. I still prefer the way you show in the video myself. This is slightly faster than doing CTRL-X, CTRL-S, but only slightly so I guess it's a matter of preference. The comments are disabled on the YouTube video linked in your post (crop many images is the link text), I was going to comment that you can also use "Save Selection As." then just hit to save as the same filename (file overwrite confirm must be disabled or you will need to confirm overwrite). Video: Fast way to crop many images using XnView MP You can't scroll the raws you need to convert individual files.Video: How to batch rename and resize using XnView MP Then when you press the A key it opens the raw file rather than the jpg at 100%.ĭoes that slow it down when scrolling the raws? 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.
