No it is a fair and good question. One that I can't answer. It is purely a FYI. I don't have it installed. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

It's a handy viewer that is intergrated to the file explorer. Why not get it if your pc is not too antiqued. |

| Doesn't work for my Pentax *istDS RAWs | | -- | Kerry in Langley Interesting. However, the MS web site does specifically state Canon and Nikon. "After installing the Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer Powertoy for Windows XP you will be able to view, organize, and print photos captured in RAW image formats from supported Canon and Nikon digital cameras" -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

The "Quick Description" states, "photos captured in RAW image formats from
supported Canon and Nikon digital cameras." The white paper lists the individual models and says it may support RAW formats from other manufactures but Microsoft hasn't tested them. Perhaps someday all the manufactures will get together and establish a universal standard for RAW. "Thomas T. Veldhouse" wrote in message et...

[snip] Perhaps someday all the manufactures will get together and establish a universal standard for RAW. [snip] Don't expect all the manufacturers to get together to define one. Two of them (Leica and Hasselblad-Imacon) already support DNG, and probably wouldn't see the need to define another format. And I doubt whether the rest of the manufacturers will be able to jointly define one, because they would probably see too much risk in giving away their secrets during the definition process. I think our best hope is for the manufacturers to use one that they don't have to jointly define themselves. Canon and Nikon will probably be the last to do so, in that order. -- Barry Pearson http://www.barry.pearson.name/photography/ http://www.birdsandanimals.info/ |
