What file formats does FenSight support?

FenSight supports PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, TGA, WEBP, JPEG-XL, AVIF, HEIF/HEIC, DICOM, and most RAW formats (DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, and more). It also supports video files and image sequences.

Does FenSight require an internet connection?

FenSight is built for offline use after activation. License keys validate locally, and the app may periodically check license status for refund or revocation handling. Optional AI features can run locally where supported or use providers you configure.

Is FenSight a subscription or one-time purchase?

FenSight is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscriptions. You buy it once and own it forever. Free updates are included, and you can use it offline indefinitely.

Can I use FenSight with Photoshop or other creative tools?

Yes. FenSight supports external drag-out, meaning you can drag selections directly from the canvas into Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or any application that accepts file drops. You can also export to clipboard, file, or FTP/FTPS.

What are the system requirements for FenSight?

FenSight requires Windows 10 64-bit (build 19044+) or Windows 11. The .NET 9.x runtime is bundled. Minimum: 8 GB RAM and DirectX 11 GPU. Recommended: 16 GB RAM with a dedicated GPU for large boards and AI features.

Studio visualizers/02

Artist Visualizer

Studio

Preview non-destructive color grades across a board.

Artist Visualizer applies a non-destructive color-grade view layer across the board, so artists can preview a look over mixed references without changing source media or board geometry.

How to open it

Tools -> Visualizer...

Opens the Visualizer panel for Studio users.

Toolbar

Visualizer button

The toolbar toggle is labeled by the tooltip: Studio tier: Visualizer — color grading view layer.

Toolbar

Active view chip -> Visualizer: <profile>

When a grade is active, the chip reopens the panel for the current profile.

Artist Visualizer is a Studio advanced visualizer. It is a non-destructive overlay/view layer: source media and board geometry are not modified.

How it works

The panel header is Visualizer. Studio access is enforced by the license service, which requires an active user on the Studio tier before the menu item, toolbar toggle, or active chip can open the controls.

The active chip label is Visualizer: {name}, using the selected profile name or Custom when manual settings alter the view.
The GPU path applies the grade as a board-surface effect, with the CPU Frozen Lens path used on lower-tier rendering hardware or after GPU effect activation fails.
Built-in looks are always available, and Save As… stores named custom profiles in app settings.

Controls

Control	What it does	Range or behavior
ProfileStudio	Chooses a built-in or saved custom look.	Built-ins ship with the app; custom profiles are saved per user.
ResetStudio	Returns the visualizer to the identity look.	Sets the profile to None and removes active grading.
Save As…Studio	Stores the current settings as a named custom profile.	Saved profiles persist in AppSettings.CustomVisualizerProfiles.
LGG Color Wheels / Shadows / Midtones / HighlightsStudio	Tints tonal zones with lift, gamma, and gain-style controls.	Hue uses 0-360, saturation uses 0-1, and luminance offset uses -0.2 to 0.2.
GreyscaleStudio	Blends the grade toward luminance-only output.	Slider display is 0-100 with default 0; internally stored as 0-1.
SaturationStudio	Reduces or increases color intensity.	Slider display is 0-200 with default 100; internally stored as 0-2.
BrightnessStudio	Raises or lowers image luminance.	Slider range is -100 to 100 with default 0.
ContrastStudio	Expands or compresses tonal separation around mid grey.	Slider range is -100 to 100 with default 0.
LevelsStudio	Sets black and white points for the board preview.	Black point defaults to 0 and white point defaults to 255.
Bézier CurvesStudio	Shapes the tonal response with two curve handles.	Identity control points are P1=(85,85) and P2=(170,170).

Built-in looks

Look	What it does	Preset values
NoneStudio	Leaves the board unchanged.	All controls stay at identity defaults.
Warm VintageStudio	Softens saturation and warms highlights for an aged photo feel.	Uses 85% saturation, slight lifted shadows, and warm highlighted tones.
Cinematic CoolStudio	Adds cool shadows with warmer highlights for a cinematic split-tone look.	Uses 85% saturation, blue shadow tint, and warm highlight tint.
High Contrast B&WStudio	Turns the board monochrome with stronger tonal separation.	Uses full greyscale, contrast 40, black point 12, and white point 245.
Soft PastelStudio	Creates a lighter, lower-saturation board preview.	Uses 60% saturation, brightness 8, and black point 12.
Film FadeStudio	Raises blacks and lowers whites for a muted film-print range.	Uses black point 20, white point 235, and a subtle cool shadow tint.
