Sounds interesting. But, me thinks (I ain't been know for that), this is more of a pro level utility. I'm not sure how much use this would be for a non-professional or even an advanced non-professional.

Interesting in reading what others think about it.

Blil,, If you are looking for an image viewer, with editing capabilities, take a look at FastStone, which is free. Written by a member of our camera club it is very good and it is free. Gary http://faststone.org/index.htm

If I'm reading UHH threads correctly, FS works in Windows only unless I start using Parallels on my Mac. Is this right?

Bill, I know it is Windows based, do not know about Parallels. Gary

Just bought and downloaded FRV yesterday. In a couple of hours I went through a thousand pics rejected about 1/3 as out of focus or not worth saving for other reasons. (FRV saves rejected photos in a "_Rejected" folder.) Much simpler and faster than doing the same in LR. I haven't used 90% of the capability of FRV yet but the 10% I have used was worth the price.

What operating system do you use? How did FRV integrate into your LR workflow?

Please disregard the questions I had in the previous post, found the answers I needed. Thanks for your letting me know your experience with this program.

I can't say I have much experience with it. I tried it out and it has some nice features like flagging focus areas. I can see where it might be useful but I haven't done any shooting since I downloaded it so I can't comment on its utility in my workflow.
