Raw Viewing - Autofocus overlays.

Post by plarry »

I fear probability getting this feature is very low because its too specialized or too complicated to add...

In Canon Raw Viewer (Zoombrowser) I can have a mask over the picture, showing all AutoFocus Points, and Highlighting the AutoFocus point that was used for the picture. Very usefull! Please implement that, it needs to be only for Canon :) Seriously, if you would implement that, I volunteer to provide you with the correct Autofocus Overlays for each Camera and each Camera Vendor you wish to implement, handdrawn, in any format you need. I think this would make XNview even more special, as I dont know any viewer (aside from the vendors own breeds) who supports that. (For those asking themself why there needs to be a custom for each camera: Afaik, the Autofocus Information is not in X/Y coordinates, instead its just a On/Off flag indicvating if a Focus Point was active or not.)

:) Welcome to the forum, plarry!

I had never heard of this kind of feature and was curious as to how this would look like. So I went hunting for a screenshot. Interesting!

XNTriq, thanks :)

Yes thats a very cool feature to have! To be sure where the focus went...
Oh and since my Zoombrowser CD is lost somewhere here in the room I couldnt make a proper screen, nice you have found something. Here is another one showing a whole picture: http://members.home.nl/christianhammer/screenshot1.JPG

Focus Point overlay is a very useful feature. Please, add it to the wondeful XnView. Another software that shows the focus point both in RAW and JPG pictures is PhotoME (http://www.photome.de/)
It attach a screen capture where you can find how the focus point is shown in the photo of the children.
Thank you very much.
