One feature I didn't see mentioned is the use of exiftool by xnviewmp.

You can do a default conversion of raw files. It also does a different conversion than was done by the camera so don't be surprised if the resulting JPG looks different from the out of camera JPG even if you don't tell Batch Convert to make any changes. The Batch Convert tool does let you change the image size and even appearance so it is a useful tool for use with RAW images. I have tried various things, including reading the manual. Obviously it's a personal choice - who knows, I may even try a different workflow just 'cos it's a new year. However as a linux user it does have the overhead of needing to run under Wine - which it does almost impeccably apart from a glitch in the thumbnail view which requires the installation of a venerable dll from - which itself limits one to using Wine 2.ДЄs I use a rather old laptop the concept of colour managed display is way beyond my reach. The batch resize tool has been handy for customising my icon theme and you can even use FS as a poor man's Powerpoint with the draw tool and slideshow creator. I curate photos for our local U3A photo groups and find the multiple search and replace features in the file renaming tool a real bonus. Should be easy to shuttle between the two using some sort of 'Send to' or Edit in' command.

Prefer the Faststone UI but I now run both as the cost isn't too high. Is this product color-managed? Yes, Xnviewmp is colour managed. I often hear that XnViewMP would be a better match for my needs. Works well for me, except that while it is 'color aware', it is not 'color managed'. I've been a long time Faststone user - mostly for quick viewing and image culling - less so for editing.
