How did you ever find it? I had searched in the manual (using Cmd/cntrl F) for various word combinations, including "move to next," but it didn't show up and I hadn't found it. Thank you for finding the answer for me (and for others) and also for the link. I didn't find it when I demo'd it years back. I never looked because I had no idea this was a feature. I had to search for it, because although I knew I had my copy set to auto-advance I couldn't remember how I did it Yep, both programs take a bit of learning, but. I found Adobe used to be like this, but I think they have been making major efforts to improve the useability of their interface. Both programs are very useful, but their settings are obscure. Yet it is a setting that many people would want to use.īoth FastRawView and PhotoMechanic to me suffer from a nerdiness in their design and interface, as though they are to be used primarily by their programmers rather than by people who have no interest in the program per se but only in using them for photography. And as far as I can find, it is not documented in the PDF manual for the program. They could hardly have hidden the setting better if it had been a contest to do so. In FRV if you go to the XMP metadata panel there is a preference icon between "XMP Metadata" and the X to close the panel, right click on it and you get options to "move to next file after". I will be very curious to see if somebody else has. I too use FRV and have never been able to find a way to do what you describe. Not a dumb question at all at least I don't think so. Just to be clear: I want to go through a folder of files and rate each one (e.g., 3 stars) which rating then triggers an automatic advance to the next file. How do I find it? (If it matters, I am working in filmstrip mode.) I can't find a way to do this in FastRawViewer. To speed this up even more, grab my Keyboard Shortcuts here and just upload them to Fast Raw Viewer on your computer using the Load button at the bottom of the customization window.In PhotoMechanic, there is a simple way to rate an image in a folder of files and automatically advance to the next file. Lightroom doesn’t have a shortcut for Purple, so I never use it and didn’t add it here either. Here’s how it should look once you’re done: Next go to XMP Labels and do the same thing to make the color labels the same as in Lightroom: So, change the No Rating option to 0 and do the same for 1-5. The default setting is to press ⌥ (Option or Alt key) and the number, but in Lightroom, we just press the number 0-5 to set our ratings, and we want this to be a seamless experience so we don’t screw everything up ? Rejected images won’t be permanently deleted, just moved.įrom the same screen, click on the XMP Rating tab. Move current file to _Rejected Subfolder – Change this to “X”ĭoing this will make the keyboard shortcuts the same as in Lightroom BUT FRV will create new subfolders in your original folder and move the rejected and selected images to those folders. Move current file to _Selected Subfolder – Change this to “P” (you will get a warning telling you that the key P is already assigned to another function – that’s ok, you can assign a new shortcut for Focus Peaking in the Image Display tab) Next, go to: FILE / CUSTOMIZE / KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS On the same tab, change the warnings to NO or MULTIPLE SELECTED, otherwise every time you select or reject an image you’re going to get a warning. Sometimes I also give my images a star or color rating, so the first thing I did was customize Fast Raw Viewer to use the same keyboard shortcuts.įirst, head to the menu, Click on FAST RAW VIEWER / PREFERENCES, go to FILE HANDLING / COPY/MOVE/REJECT and check the option “Enable move to Selected subfolder” In Lightroom, I cull using the P key to “pick” and the X key to “reject” an image. *Fast Raw Viewer allows you to cull directly from your SD card, but I’m not really comfortable with doing it that way. Normally I import my images directly through Lightroom, but since I’m going to cull before going into Lightroom I am going to import directly to a folder on my hard drive.
