There seems no FREE and/or OFFICIAL 64-bit codec for raw images from DSLR. How do you solve this problem? Don't worry yourself with a non-issue, that is how you solve that problem. -- Regards, Savageduck |

If raw iamge formats were widely used, then 64-bit codec for 64-bit Window$ should be widely avalable? raw image formats are widely used and do not require 64 bit mac or windows, however, adobe camera raw is both 32 & 64 bit. |

OK, it's about professional imaging.... camera raw is definitely free. what's not free is photoshop or lightroom, which use camera raw. it can run standalone to convert to dng and then you can use other software. photoshop elements is usually $50-60 which is not for 'rich users' or 'professional imaging.' |

There is no problem running 32 bit Codecs on 64 bit systems. Regards, Eric Stevens |

For my hobby I sometimes don't mind futzing around. That is part of the fun. BTW that does not mean that all professionals must use PS. For many LR will work fine. there are also many other fine products out there, Corel, Paint Shop Pro and PhotoPaint, included.I will not get into a holy war over which product is best. there is good and bad in each. The reader is free to go to the forums and figure it out. -- Peter |

So even professional photography does not always use raw formats? I've gone to great efforts to stop Windows from wasting my time and my disk space making thumbnails of its own for my photo files. Thus it is if anything beneficial that Windows can't directly read my raw image files. Windows XP could read my Nikon NEF raw files but Windows 7 could not. However Windows 7 has been completely rebuilt and will allow plug-ins for the file viewer. Wanting to know more about my images than their filename I bought FastPictureViewer CODEC pack. See http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/ (Professionals use a wide range of tools and formats, of course. There are reasons in some kinds of photography why jpeg is a lot better (card capacity, wifi bandwidth, card write speed all come to mind, sometimes they're important). When shooting for the highest quality and the most post- processing options, then RAW is the clear winner.) Regards, Eric Stevens |
