You are looking for a tethering software that does exactly what you need, without unnecessary features, without subscription or complexity? G.O.F. WPD 2.0 is designed for that.

G.O.F. WPD integrates naturally into the photographer's workflow. In the studio, during a portrait, fashion or model shoot, the photographer remains entirely focused on their subjects and lighting — working exactly as they always have, triggering the shutter whenever they choose. Each photo taken appears automatically on the computer screen, allowing the photographer, assistant or client to immediately view the result in large format. The camera is not triggered from the computer.

Main features

What is G.O.F. WPD?

G.O.F. WPD is a tethering software developed by a photographer for photographers who want to focus on the essentials.

Connect your camera via USB, launch the software, and your images appear on screen in real time. It is that simple.

Automatic detection

G.O.F. WPD automatically detects your camera as soon as it is connected or powered on. No action is required — the software handles the connection and immediately starts monitoring incoming files.

Compatible with most cameras

G.O.F. WPD 2.0 supports RAW formats from major manufacturers: NEF and NRW (Nikon), CR2 and CR3 (Canon), ARW (Sony), ORF (Olympus), RW2 (Panasonic). JPEG format is fully supported.

The software is compatible with cameras using the WPD (Windows Portable Devices) protocol for file transfer.

Note: some manufacturers deviate from the WPD specifications, which may cause partial incompatibilities.

File management & display

Smart file management

The software automatically adapts to what your camera sends, without any configuration. Whether you shoot RAW only, JPEG only or RAW+JPEG simultaneously, G.O.F. WPD detects and handles each case automatically:

  • JPEG only: the image is displayed immediately upon reception
  • RAW + JPEG: the JPEG is displayed, the RAW is saved in the background
  • RAW only: the software automatically extracts the embedded JPEG from the RAW file for fast display, while preserving the original RAW file intact
Clear, responsive and enhanced display v2

G.O.F. WPD introduces in version 2 improved and faster navigation, allowing smooth browsing of images during the working session. The display is enhanced with analysis and shooting assistance tools:

  • Focus peaking by contrast detection: highlights sharp areas for precise focus control
  • Clipping zones: display of blown highlights and underexposed areas
  • Composition grids: overlays to assist framing (rule of thirds, etc.)
  • Complete histograms: luminance histogram and separate RGB histograms (red, green, blue)
Magnifier and full screen

Two magnifier modes are available:

  • Quick magnifier: holding a click instantly displays the image at 100%; when the mouse button is released, the image returns automatically to its initial display
  • Classic magnifier: adjustable zoom up to 300%, with mouse navigation to inspect every detail

A full-screen mode is also available for total immersion (F11 key).

The software automatically handles EXIF orientation so that your images are always displayed correctly regardless of the camera position during shooting.

Additional information
