Raw images in Longhorn (and XP)

Interesting article by Paul Thurrott

Tuesday, June 28, 2005 by Thomas Thomassen | Discussion: Windows Vista

Paul Thurrott got an interesting article about raw image format support in the upcomming Windows Longhorn. In the article he explains what it means to the users that the OS supports raw images. He also talks about how Adobe and Apple have dealt with raw images and at the end comcludes with how Microsoft approaced it. At the very end of the article was an very interesting link to a shell extention for Windows XP that let you view raw images in the same way as you do with, bmp, gif and jpeg. After installing the powertoy you can edit edit raw image files in Adobe PhotoShop CS/CS2/Elements 3.0 or Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006. (Photoshop allready support some raw formats, but I suppose this extends it.) I support most common Canon and Nikon cameras. (More details can be found in the whitepapers)

I'm a semi-professional photographer and I use a Canon camera which alo have the RAW function, I don't use it much these days and one of the reasons is because you can't see a image appear in Windows. With this tool I should, So that way I will have a better over-view over all my RAW pictures.. GREAT!
