Does FastPictureViewer use embedded JPEGs when previewing raw files?
Yes. Provided that a sufficiently large JPEG preview image is embedded within the raw files, FastPictureViewer Professional will be able to take advantage of them and provide near-instant color-managed previewing of supported raw formats. There is no need to use a separate utility to ‘dump’ the embedded JPEG preview in order to get fast previewing of raw files, moreover the program is able to show EXIF shooting data when accessing the original raw file (an perform color conversion if you shoot in Adobe RGB), while this data is typically missing from extracted preview JPEGs. FastPictureViewer also understands and support image ‘stacks’ where JPEG+RAW files are treated (viewed, copied, moved, deleted) as one, so it can be used to browse folders containing JPEG and RAW versions of each images without showing every picture twice… As a matter of fact you can directly preview the images off the camera over USB2 or from a card reader, without any intermediate step: just point FastPictureVie
