Features
Full quality previews
Some applications take shortcuts to get good performance by only processing the embedded JPEG preview found in most RAW formats. This robs you of full resolution and color-correct previews of your images. Photon will always fully process your RAW data so you can be sure you're seeing every pixel of your image.
Smart switching
Other applications require manually switching between special “modes” to toggle rendering of RAW data and JPEG previews. Photon's intelligent caching engine automatically switches between rendering full RAW data and loading JPEG previews.
Instant images
No need to wait for your images to import before you can start working. Pop in a memory card or load files from your hard drive, and Photon starts rendering your images instantly.
Speed up your workflow
Use Photon as a pre-sorting app for making your selects from a large photo shoot and then import only your keepers into your favorite asset manager.
Streamlined interface
Photon’s user interface has been meticulously crafted to streamline the process of making your selects quickly and efficiently.
Batch convert
Quickly batch convert your images into popular formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF or PSD
