Q&A

1. Why does my RAW file show black empty content on the screen?
   The default renderer is based on GLES3 which may not be compatible with some legacy graphics card.
   Try Fn -> Settings -> Renderer Tab -> switch Renderer from GLES3 to GLES2 -> restart the QuickRawPicker to fix the problem.
2. Why does the app show "file is damaged" in macOS?
   The legacy versions of QuickRawPicker are not signed. You may need to run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine QuickRawPicker.app to fix the "file is damaged" issue for legacy versions under macOS. Please check https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/ for more info.

Workflows

1. By rating. By Rating your raw photos in QuickRawPicker, the rating score will be written into the sidecar file xmp or pp3. And then you can filter and edit them in Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Darktable or Rawtherapee directly. demo
2. By marking and exporting. By marking your raw photos in QuickRawPicker, you can later export all the marked photo files to a desired folder. Usually this method can used to check the raw files on the SD card directly and export the marked ones to your hard drive on computer. demo
