![]() I've used FastStone Image Viewer in the passt and while it is a fast viewer its not, unless its had a major upgrade a replacement for Photoscape. I am sure you will find a standard collection of settings that match closely the JPG output that you can use as a starting once saved as a custom set of values. It may be as simple as you not applying the right amount of sharpening and or micro-contrast. I would suspect it is you and not the converter. It will be interesting to see whether it's just me or others notice the softer converter? ![]() I'm going to have a play with some JPG's and see what I can create. Also I don't shoot many RAW Pics because the 30 does a pretty good job itself with the JPG's. I'm not going to be critical because it's free and the rest of the package looks like fun to use. It may work out different for the 20 but from what I've found with the 30 there's a bit more work needed on the converter. The camera's own Jpg were miles in front in my test. What I did notice is when I tried converting RAF files off the 30 to JPG with Photoscape they came out noticeably softer than SilkyPix produces in it's default settings. It's got some interesting features as well as being fairly simple to use. Just down loaded and had a play with Photoscape. Much faster than Photoscape and I can edit my RAF files easily by browsing it (explorer like) and adding your favorite RAF editor (Associate External Program) although you can use it to extract embedded JPEG on your RAF file. I would instead recommend FastStone Image Viewer. The navigation is horribly slow and cumbersome to use but the editor is nice. Try Photocape v3.6.2 you may just like it and best of all its still free. You can either direct convert one or more image on the fly or direct edit from the converter and save the edited image separately.įor windows users, if you like to have a preview of the images on the camera, like I do, using the USB connection, Photoscape will display the images in the preview window for you, prior to transferring them from the camera. Photoscape has been able to convert RAW files for a long time, but in the latest version that I have now installed the converter also works for Fuji RAF files. For anything more specialised I use either Lightroom or Photoshop. Photoscape is my editor of choice for standard photography work.
