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/01

World Map visualizer

Studio

Plot geotagged photos on an offline map.

The World Map visualizer turns geotagged board photos into location clusters over an offline world basemap. It is built for travel boards, location scouting, field shoots, and any review where place matters as much as the image.

How to open it

Tools -> Geographic...

Opens the World Map visualizer for the current board.

Toolbar

Active view chip -> Geographic

Focuses the map again when the visualizer is already open.

World Map is a Studio advanced visualizer. Reverse-geocoding does not need a network connection at runtime because the city data is bundled with FenSight.

What appears on the map

FenSight reads GPS coordinates from image-like files on the current board, projects them onto an equirectangular world map, and draws each place as an orange circle. Items without readable GPS metadata are omitted from the map so the overlay stays focused on real locations.

The basemap uses bundled Natural Earth coastline/land vector data, which is public domain.
GPS extraction is limited to image-style formats that can carry EXIF location metadata.
Coordinates are cached, so repeated map opens and refreshes avoid unnecessary metadata reads.
The projection is plate carree: longitude maps left to right, latitude maps top to bottom, with north at the top.

Map data and grouping

Feature	What it does	How it works
Offline basemapStudio	Shows a lightweight world outline under the photo locations.	Uses bundled Natural Earth coastline/land data, so the map can render without fetching tiles or map services.
EXIF GPSStudio	Finds where board photos were taken.	Reads latitude and longitude from supported image metadata and skips files that cannot provide GPS coordinates.
Offline reverse-geocodeStudio	Turns raw coordinates into recognizable place labels.	Matches coordinates against the bundled GeoNames cities15000 dataset, licensed CC BY 4.0.
City / country rollupStudio	Keeps the map readable when a board spans many places.	If distinct cities fit within the bucket limit, labels use City, Country plus a coordinate line; otherwise clusters roll up to country level.
Orange circlesStudio	Represents each mapped city or country cluster on the basemap.	BuildGeoClusters creates one cluster per city/country or country, with a representative centroid, item count, and backing board items.

Interaction

Action	What it does	Use it when
Hover labelStudio	Shows the city or country label for a circle.	Use it to identify a place before selecting it.
Pan and zoomStudio	Moves around dense or global boards without leaving the overlay.	Use mouse-wheel zoom, middle-drag, or Space + drag to navigate the map.
Marquee selectionStudio	Selects multiple map circles at once.	Left-drag across a region to send the combined set of cluster items to the results grid.
Result gridStudio	Shows the photos behind the selected map circle or circles.	Single selection or marquee selection opens the left dock results grid and updates Properties with the selected location context.
Double-click returnStudio	Jumps from a map result back to the real board item.	Double-click a board-backed result to close the overlay, select that item on the board, and fit the board view to it.
