Bob S This looks very well designed and very useful. Question re: a key feature that is also important - the ability to "tag" photos (e.g., family; friends; vacation; etc.) quickly and consistently, so that I can group, sort, and view a large # of photos taken over the years. For example, I'd like to select "vacation photos" and display them by year. The best tagging approach uses a "drop down" w/ precoded tags for speed and consistency, rather than a "fill in tag."

I see the feature "Persistent bookmarks" mentioned on your website - can you describe how this works and whether it would accomplish the objective above for tagging and organizing photos?

Thank you.

Stefan Hauber After the first positive impression, concerning license-type (user-license) I found deep on your website that not all, but only 2 computers are allowed the software to be installed. Might be sufficient, but of cause being able to use a license with all computers a user owns might be make more sense regarding the word user-license and in nowadays days when a new generation of computers come out every 1 1/2 years and people don't want to throw away their old computers, but instead using them on the tv-room e.g. to display movies or pix (using a fast pic-displaying program)...

I mostly use two computers (desktop and laptop) and can live with this restriction. But I have two related concerns:

(i) In my laptop I use different harddisks. One contains my stable system (so far), one is more for software-experimening. If my experiments finally lead to an instable system I restore the last stable system-state with my backup-program and in the meantime I use the stable harddisk for expermimenting (i.e. switching their functionality). When installing your trial-version on both of them on the registering page I found two different hardware-id-numbers). So, if I buy FastPictureViewer and install and register it on one harddisk, after transfering the partition to my other harddisk would it run on that too? I.e. if a check is done, if the computer is the same as the program is being registered, this check should pass. Otherwise a check, if the harddisk is the same, this check will fail. So: Can I run your program without problems independent of the harddisk I run my system from. (Needless to say, that in this case it is physical impossible to run these two installed programs at the very same time...)

(ii) It's about time to replace my laptop with a new one. I probably will do that in the first half of the next year. How complicated is it to transfer my license to my new system.

(Remember: My desktop already 'consumes' the first allowed installation; the questions only concern the second allowed installations on the laptop...)

I hope this was not too confusing...

Thank you....

Axel Rietschin @Bob S: FPV is first and foremost a fast culling tool, meant to help photographers quickly review and rate images. Organizational duties such as keywording, categorization and filtered display are left to more sophisticated digital asset management tools like Lightroom or IDimager, just to name two. FPV offers quick "star rating" and "color labels" tagging by the way of industry-standard Adobe XMP-compatible metadata creation, and can rename (prefix) files with the given rating, helping downstream sorting and categorization of images by other tools. The spirit of the product is to offer a mean of finding those few "keepers" out of raw memory cards dumps quickly and efficiently. A keyword dictionary -based IPTC editor is planned for a future version, which will allow users to add captions and keywords (tags) to photos, so more classification work can be performed upfront right in the first review pass.

Bookmarks let users set up to 10 "marks" in the current image stream and quickly jump back to any of them with a single keystroke. They can be used to mark interesting spots (e.g. some action or decisive moment) and offers another way to navigate through a large set of images being worked on. The Pro version saves bookmarks across culling sessions, so you can for example make the place where you left and quickly resume your session on the next day by jumping to the bookmark. They prove useful when reviewing large sets (thousands) of images at once. Bookmarks are set either through a menu (right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the window) or by the way of keyboard shortcuts.
Axel Rietschin @Stefan Hauber: Licensing is a tough question and typically is a balance between rights protection and user (in)convenience, unfortunately. We chose a compromise with provisions for multiple installations by a particular user, and reasonable protection against license keys that inevitably leak on the internet sooner or later. On the other hand we are fully aware that some users have particular demands and that licenses are sometimes lost due to disk failures etc, and we handle those situations on a case-by-case basis through the support email. Note that the licensing mechanism built in the software never locks you out of the program; you can always re-install and re-register the software with a legitimate license key. Feel free to email us if you have further questions or concerns about the licensing policy.
Olivier D Love this program and I just bought it! Thanks :)
I take many photos and it is nice FastPictureViewer deletes the corresponding raw when deleting the jpg file.

Axel Rietschin @Olivier D: Thank you for your business and the kind words. Yes indeed, FPV supports RAW+JPG shooting and associates the JPEG with the corresponding RAW file (the match is based on the file name). When such pairs are detected, the program considers them as a single image for all operations, viewing of course so you don't see every image twice, but also deleting, rating, copying, moving and renaming. This is one of the program's distinctive features compared to usual general-purpose image viewers. FPV uses the JPEG version for previewing as it is often of better quality than the preview embedded within raw files, and always contains the full metadata, including color-space information etc, allowing fast color-managed viewing.
David Gilmour I placed my order at 8:30AM Eastern time. Immediately after the transaction, I received a message from share-it, saying that my order "has been received and is being verified by our team." At 2:30PM, I sent a message to share-it customer service, asking what the problem was, and requesting that my order be fulfilled promptly. To this I received an auto-response, saying "Your e-mail has been received and will be processed as quickly as possible." It is now after 5:00PM, and I have still not received either the license key that I ordered, nor any explanation for the delay from share-it.

Alex or BDJ, can you help?

Axel Rietschin @David Gilmour: First, thank you for your purchase. ShareIt is usually a very dependable ecommerce service, perhaps are they encountering technical issues with their system? Anyway be assured that I guarantee you the conditions of this special deal should the order be processed late because of technical difficulties. If you need the license code urgently please contact us through the support email and we'll take care of that.
David Gilmour Alex, thank you very much for your response and support. I phoned Share-it customer support in the USA, and they explained that PayPal had not responded to their multiple electronic requests for the payment. So I canceled my original order on Share-it, waited for confirmation of the cancellation, and then placed a new order. My second order went through immediately and normally.

Axel Rietschin @David Gilmour: Glad to learn that and thank you again for your order.
Bob S Just purchased and installed - works beautifully!

I'll look at the two programs you mentioned for tagging as well.

Axel Rietschin @Bob S: Thanks. For digital asset management tools you might want to have a look at products like iMatch, IDimager, Lightroom and Extensis Portfolio. All offer sophisticated tagging and searching functions, along with powerful organization features like virtual folders, letting users arrange photos in multiple ways.

FPV does not pretend to go that far, but features that make sense to speed up the initial review and selection work will be added over time, e.g. a way to display only images that were given a certain rating, for example, or a way to act on images (copy, move, and delete in batch) according to their given rating. Feel free to post suggestions in our user forum and stay tuned for new releases!
Joshua Cowan Does this offer include a license for the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack (http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/)?

Axel Rietschin @Joshua: The offer does not include a license for the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack but FPV Pro comes bundled with the same raw formats codecs that are also in the separate pack, so it supports 300+ digital cameras out-of-the-box. The codecs bundled with FPV Pro also enable thumbnail support in Windows Explorer and viewing in Photo Gallery (and Media Center on Windows 7) for both 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.

To add support for non-raw formats such as OpenEXR, DDS, TGA, PNM, JPEG2000... to FPV Pro and to Windows Explorer, the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack can be purchased separately. As a side note, third party codecs also exists for formats such as PSD and DjVU, with more to come in the future both from us and others.
DrTeeth I have looked at this several times and I cannot see any advantages to it over the many and excellent freeware viewers available which are just as fast. Seems very expensive even discounted.

Axel Rietschin @Guy Simmons: I've checked some of your other comments here and it seems that you have a nice record of "not seeing" what app X or Y brings to the table. Nothing personal, but I get this sometimes with FastPictureViewer, mostly from auto-proclaimed "software experts" who cannot tell the difference between color management that work and color management that don't, or GPU acceleration, or 64-bit support, or multi-core support for batch processing, who express their superficial opinion about my software without even trying it and, most of all, without having any idea about the issues encountered by professional photographers in their daily workflows and the problems my app is supposed to solve. Back to your remark now. Please list the "excellent and just as fast" freeware viewers that you know of, and which supports *all* of the following (be specific): - Native 64-bit version. - ICC v2 and v4 color management with profiled monitor support. - Adobe XMP-compatible inter-operable rating/labeling system. - Direct3D hardware accelerated zooming and panning. - Support for up to 64bpp image formats and up to 48bpp display modes. - Image codecs that enable raw support in Windows Explorer. - Tethered shooting mode through USB2 and PTP/MTP protocol. - Real-time folder watching function (detects and display incoming pictures). - Instantaneous (and permanent) RGB histogram and EXIF info display. - Unicode-native, to support file names written in any language. - Point-and-click, rule-based batch file processor (scriptable in JavaScript for advanced users). You will be hard pressed to find any free app that supports even *one* of the above, let alone all of them. On the speed aspect, FastPictureViewer is limited by the refresh rate of your monitor when operating in Direct3D hardware accelerated mode. As such the upper-bound display rate is 60 images per second, provided that your hard disks and CPUs are fast enough to supply images so fast (which is doubtful, unless the pictures are relatively small). Real-world performance when previewing high resolution raw files as created by most of today's top DSLRs is about 5 - 10 images per second on current hardware and operating systems, what other app that you know of, at any price, can make such claim? Like anyone else you are warmly welcome to download the free trial version from the website. Skimming the user's forum is also a good idea, if only to get a feel of the issues users encounter and the various topics discussed. While FastPictureViewer Professional is an application designed for Windows 7, it also runs on Vista and even XP SP3, with some functional and performance restrictions, so almost anyone can try it right away and make their own opinion. Following the ever expanding "getting started" guide is highly recommended, even for advanced computer users, and ideally a thorough evaluation should include at least one life-size culling session, say import, view, rate, backup, dispatch and export a thousand raw files, before the true value if this software can be assessed.
Roger Thomasson Folks, as a rule, please include the name of the software title in question if you want a vendor to explain why his or hers is remarkably better :-) Thanks! -r

Patrick N so credit where due is..
it's a nicely designed program wich works very well, i've purchaced this past year from axels webpage, back then i had older 32bits pc (fpv was still fast) today i'm on 64bit windows7\ssd\newer radeon gpu & fpv is superior to anything else i've tried.

i'm a member at your forum axel, i'm the guy "mRp" nagging you about 64bit support, a bug introduced wich axel missed but fixed now giving 64bit users an incredible boost,
for 6 months i couldn't use the program due to this but now i can finally use fpv again,
thanks again for listening axel and sorting that out.

axel works incredible much on this program, i'm subscribing his feed and there is always something new,
this is "not" solely an ordinary viewer, fpv is intended for speed .. filtering .. view & preview,
and if you do studiowork you will love tethered shooting.

if you have a folder of some smaller jpg's to look at then use whatever free program offered out there,
but if you take a decent amount of pictures yourself you will love fpv

Albert C. Hi. I'm no pro photographer but I just love companies that offer superior support to their clients and it seems that this one does. So I'm going to give it a try and see if it replaces my ACDSee or ThumbsPlus. See you later! ^_^
