It has also given me some insight into how I can improve my camera settings during a shoot, especially examining the LV, distance, and DOF numbers, exposure and dynamic range of my typical images. I am glad I bought it and it does help give me some guidance going into LRC or PS, but just having access to the granular raw data is pretty cool to me. I like the ability to get the statistics over the entire image or just in a small section of the image.

The histograms use this range of values as well. They are slowest at 100 view, taking about 4 seconds to update. The exposure and selective tone sliders are slower than contrast. I opted to use FastRawViewer for cataloguing and browsing and forget about using PL2 for that. I like that the pixel values go from 0-16384 reflecting the 14 bits per color channel in the raw file. I found that PL2 is very slow with indexing and gets worse with more and more pictures. I like the ability to see each individual color channel R,G,B,G2 and the min, max, avg and std dev for each channel as well as over and under exposure percentage by channel. I am using macbooks and windows workstations, my 3 year old dell xps is nearly as fast as in the video, my 'old' macbook 16 is pretty slow.

I really like the EXIF window, which is phenomenally complete, right down to the focal point distance, DOF, LV, and shutter count. You can get this performance on an Intel MacBook Pro using FastRAWViewer. FastRawViewer - too slow, but apparently IS an actual raw previewer, not using the embedded JPG, so if you want to really see the RAW data not the embed, you might try it.

FastPictureViewer - nicely fast, horrible user interface, not really complete (no ingestion program). Is your RAW converter slow while building 1:1 previews or culling RAW files Use FastRawViewer - a great. I picked up Rawdigger research edition after reading this post to see if it can help improve my PP kills. Faststone - too slow by far (half second or so), but nice interface.
