4.8. About RAW data that cannot be previewed
Photo ExpressViewer uses the preview image contained in the RAW data to display previews and thumbnails.
Therefore, depending on the RAW data, the preview and thumbnail may be displayed as follows:"?" Icon is displayed in preview and thumbnail
Indicates that the preview and thumbnail cannot be displayed because the preview image is notincluded in the RAW data.

"?" Icon is displayed on the thumbnail, but the image is displayed on the preview
Indicates that the thumbnail cannot be displayed because the preview image is included in the RAW data, but only
the high pixel preview image is included.

The preview image is displayed blurry (the displayed image becomes smaller when the same size isdisplayed)
Since the RAW data contains only a low-pixel preview image (equivalent to a thumbnail) and this image isenlarged and displayed in the preview, the display will be blurry.
The pixel size of the previewed image is shown in the "Preview pixel" section of the Image properties. (This item is
not displayed when thumbnails are displayed.)17

Also, open the selected image in another application or export the metadata to reflect the settings such as mark andrating in the other application.

7.1. Copy/Move/Delete
There are the following methods for copying, moving, and deleting images:


Copy
Use "Copy selected images" or "Copy marked images" to copy the image.
The "Copy marked images" function is available for images for which the "Copy/Move mark" has been set in advance.

After selecting each menu item, the "Select folder to copy images" dialog will appear, select the destination folder

and click [OK].
You can also move the image on the thumbnail by dragging it to the folder you want to move on the folder tree.
DeleteUse "Delete selected images" or "Delete marked images" to delete the image.
The "Delete marked images" function is available for images for which the "Delete mark" has been set in advance.

There are two types of deletion, delete to move to the recycle bin and delete completely, and the initial operation is
to move to the recycle bin.
*

Files on the external hard disk or network drive will be deleted completely instead of being moved to therecycle bin. Please be careful.

7.3. Files to be copied / moved / deleted / renamed
Photo ExpressViewer treats multiple files with the same base name excluding the extension as the same image.
For example, if IMG_0001.RAW, IMG_0001.JPG, IMG_0001.TIF, and IMG_0001.XMP exist in the same folder, thefollowing operations will be performed according to the "Treat the same base name files as a single image" setting.
[Manipulate RAW files]
When "Treat the same base name files as a single image" is enabled
All RAW, JPEG, TIFF and XMP files can be operated.

When "Treat the same base name files as a single image" is disabled
The operation target is files excluding JPEG and TIFF files.

[Manipulate JPEG / TIFF files]
When "Treat the same base name files as a single image" is enabled (it is assumed that the RAW filedoes not exist)
JPEG and TIFF files are the operation targets. XMP files cannot be operated.

When "Treat the same base name files as a single image" is disabled
Only JPEG or TIFF files can be operated. XMP files cannot be operated.

Also, when editing marks and ratings with Photo Express Viewer, this information will be saved by creating an
information file with the extension ".ped", such as "IMG_0001.RAW.ped", in the "PEXV_PARAM" subfolder.
26

When operating an image file, this information file is also the target of operation at the same time.
*

If the development parameters file of our RAW development software "SILKYPIX" exists in the "SILKYPIX_DS"
subfolder, it will be subject to the same operation.

7.4. Export metadata
Exports metadata such as user marks and ratings set in the selected image in XMP format or SILKYPIX development
parameters file.
Select a format from the [Image]-[Export metadata] menu, or from [Export metadata] on the context menu that appears
when you right-click on a preview or thumbnail.

XMP format
Export metadata in XMP format.
When you open an image with software that supports reading metadata in XMP format, you can take over the
information such as user mark and rating set in Photo ExpressViewer.
If the selected image is RAW, it will be saved as a file with the same name (sidecar file) with the extension ".xmp".
For JPEG / TIFF, write and save XMP format information to the original image file.
*

When saving as a sidecar file, the original xmp file will be overwritten. Please note that the information output byother software may be lost.

The metadata to be exported is as follows:

User mark 1-5

Rating

Rotation information



IPTC information

The metadata to be shown differs depending on the software to be taken over.
Please note that there are cases where only the rating is shown or the rotation information is not shown.
For details, please contact the relevant software manufacturer.
[Export user mark]There are restrictions on the export of user marks 1 to 5.
Only one color of user mark can be exported as a label.
Therefore, when multiple user marks are set in the selected image, the user mark displayed on
the leftmost side of the thumbnail is usually given priority and output as a label.
Also, each user mark is usually exported with the following label names:
User markOutput label name

User mark 1 (Blue mark)

Blue
27

User mark 2 (Green mark)

Green

User mark 3 (Red mark)Red

User mark 4 (Yellow mark)

YellowUser mark 5 (Purple mark)PurpleThe label is shown only when it matches the label name in the software to which the image information is exported.
The priority of each user mark for label output and the output label name can be changed in "Metadata export settings".

SILKYPIX development parameters file
Export in the development parameters file of our RAW development software "SILKYPIX".
When you open an image on SILKYPIX, you can inherit the information such as user mark and rating set in Photo
ExpressViewer.
The SILKYPIX development parameters file creates a subfolder called "SILKYPIX_DS" and saves it in this folder.
Initially, the file will be exported as a development parameters file in "SILKYPIX version 10 format".
If your SILKYPIX version is between 6 and 9, specify the version in "Metadata export settings".
*

You cannot export in the format of SILKYPIX version 5 or earlier. Also, the SILKYPIX series (bundle version)
included with the camera and lens is not applicable.

*

If the development parameters file of the image to be exported already exists, it will be overwritten and saved.
Please note that the development parameters adjusted by SILKYPIX will be lost.

The metadata to be exported is as follows:

User mark 1-5

Rating

Rotation information



IPTC information[Export user mark]If you select SILKYPIX Version 8 format or earlier, User mark 4 (yellow mark) and User mark 5 (purple mark) will not beexported.

7.5. Open with another application
Open the file of the selected image with the application for which the application has been registered in advance.
You can also export the metadata of the selected image at the same time.
Select [File]-[Open with another application]-[Register applications] menu to open the "Register applications" dialog.

29

By selecting an application from the menu, the file of the selected image will be opened in the specified application.
[Restrictions on starting SILKYPIX]
Photo ExpressViewer and our RAW development software "SILKYPIX" series cannot be started at the same time.
When registering and starting the SILKYPIX series with this function, SILKYPIX will be started after Photo
ExpressViewer is closed.
