RAW and 64bit Windows     posted on 31st of july, 2010

There is nice feature in Windows Vista / 7 (and WinXP SP3) called "image codecs". This little think allows user to install "plugins" for rendering non-default images (and thumbnails). This is especially needed by photographers working with RAWs.

I use FastStone image viewer. It also fiews psd files. Best thing is it is free and you can donate to them if you want. The only negative to it is the color is off a bit but when you want to view your RAW files it does the job!

I took a look at the codec you referred to... I prefer to use the windows interface so for10 bucks it might just be worth it. - posted by Littlemacproductions on July 31, 2010
