Re: How many FastRAWViewer users here?

Yes, natural JPEG setting is much better for judging exposure using blinkies. Also I suggest to set minimal contrast, sharpness and saturation in camera. Then you should have JPEG-RAW variation reduced to ~0.3 EV. This is in daylight on white or green/yellow subjects. Variation in artificial light will be bigger. Don't know how to reduce it.

This is how Fast RAW Viewer will help for single shots - you will learn the difference between RAW and JPEG exposure in different lighting conditions.
Fast raw viewer is really fast. I use it to quickly browse hundreds of photos and see how I exposed shots, noticing mistakes. Then I press 'c' key on photos I select and FRV copies them to given folder. In the end I import that folder to Lightroom. It's much faster to do selection in FRV than in LR.
