After years of having to use third-party solutions to manage their RAW image sets, DSLR users with Windows PCs are getting a break as Microsoft has released a Camera Codec Pack that adds RAW file support to Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
After installing the codec pack the mentioned OSes will allow RAW files to be viewable in Windows Explorer, while Windows Live Photo Gallery will be able view RAW images and will enable users to edit copies of those pictures (the copy is converted to JPEG or JPEG-XR)."This new update unlocks the power of every photo on your computer so that your PC is capable of organizing, viewing and editing your digital memories, whether they were shot with a camera phone, point-and-shoot camera, or a higher end DSLR," said Brad Weed, Group Program Manager, Windows Live.
The Microsoft Camera Codec Pack 16.0.0652.0621 is available here in both 32bit and 64bit flavors.
