jenniferw52221136 Jun 10, 2018 6:27 AM (in response to Per Berntsen) I always view my raw files before I import into Lightroom. I don't want to upload 50 photos of an Eagle session, I got through each photo, pick the sharpest one, and then I import to LR. I agree with you and it is the way I always work. It is a workflow I adopted back in the days of LR 2, ten years ago, because I wanted to review, judge, rank and cull my Raw photos while they were still on the memory card, before transferring them to the PC, and the thumbnails in LR's Import dialog were absolutely horrible at that time. (The Import page was improved a couple years later in LR 3.) Nowadays culling is even more important to me because I always shoot triplets - three shots at a time - and I select the keeper on the basis of a combination of ETTR exposure and sharpness. The app I use for this is one of my favorite bits of software and I would highly recommend it. It fits smoothly into a LR > PS workflow as the first step, it is cheap, and it offers several features that you won't find almost anywhere else; key among them a Raw histogram for seeing the real exposure, and focus peaking of edges, detail or both for easily and accurately judging pre-processing sharpness at 1:1. It is called FastRawViewer: https://www.fastrawviewer.com/?utm_source=program&utm_medium=site&utm_campaign=FRV
