Jan 05, 1 anybody know if this RAW thumbnail viewer will work on Vista? Jan 05, 2 It won't even work well in XP if you have a new camera - look at what the page describes as "new": This release contains support for new cameras such as the Canon EOS 5D, Nikon D50, D70s, and others.

Mon Mar 04, Today we officially retired the Canon CHDK codec, a special codec that was handling raw files from some Canon pocket camera models owned by enthusiasts who hacked their camera's firmware to dump the raw sensor data and simulate a raw shooting mode that is normally not present on these models. While functioning as expected, due to the nature of those special raw files, this codec was likely to cause interferences with some applications and as such we did not install it by default.

Users having this codec installed reported a number of issues in other applications lately, as well as incompatibilities with some recent Microsoft updates, so we took the decision to retire this component from the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack effective immediately. Support for JPEG files created by those models, as well as raw support for all other Canon models we handle is unaffected by this change. Thu Jun 27, Version 3. Sat Jul 20, Version 3.

Some of our most distinguished corporate customers includes: Sony Online Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Orbit Studio, Blizzard Entertainment, Avid Technology, Hidden Path Entertainment, as well as countless photo studios, graphic and game artist's studios, imaging professionals and photographers all around the world.

Some background information: Windows Vista introduced a brand new and extensible imaging framework called Windows Imaging Component WIC , enabling far better imaging support at the operating system level than what was available during the Windows XP era. Windows Imaging Component made it possible for 3rd parties to add first-class support for additional image formats to the operating system through plugin components known as "codecs", providing thumbnail views in Explorer, as well as previews and slideshows in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer and, on Window 7, also within Windows Media Center 7 and Media Player 12, as well as integration with the built-in desktop search engine.

The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack provides what Microsoft calls "platform support" for many additional image formats, beyond what's supported by the Windows Operating System out-of-the-box, including most popular "camera raw" image formats, covering the latest digital cameras on the market. On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack goes far beyond providing simple thumbnail functionality by enabling large size viewing in Windows Photo Viewer, Photo Gallery and Windows Media Center 7 and Media Player 12, as well as providing metadata integration with Windows Search so you can find your images instantly from any Explorer search box!

For example our CR2 codec and NEF codec supports the latest top cameras from Canon and Nikon, respectively, and ships as part our codec pack in both bit and bit form, enabling the broadest compatibility with both the latest cameras and the latest operating system editions. Some of our codecs also take advantage of the latest processor technology, providing previously unheard of raw previewing speed, rivaling and sometimes exceeding the usually fast display speed experienced when using the standard JPEG format.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users also get automatic rotation of JPEG images , provided that orientation data was written in the images by the camera. Images containing the EXIF orientation data will be presented in the correct orientation automatically in Windows Explorer.

This feature works with thumbnails and previews in Explorer and for large-size viewing in Photo Viewer, Photo Gallery, the Slideshow sidebar gadget and in Windows Media Center 7. Photographers shooting in portrait orientation will instantly appreciate this feature! Digital cameras owners venturing into "raw shooting" to get the most of their equipment will find the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack a must have essential tool , as it makes raw file handling in Windows Explorer as simple and easy as it is with the JPEG format: quick identification of images straight in Windows Explorer and standard "Open File" dialogs in most Windows applications , as well as instant search and previews means faster workflow , and since time is money this product fully pays for itself within minutes of use!

When possible, the full metadata is exposed by the codecs so Windows Search can pick up and index your files, gathering information about date taken, camera model, tags etc, enabling Windows' built-in search to locate your pictures from metadata!
