And even if the camera maker doesn't, a third party developer probably does. Microsoft is not going to provide thumbnails for the myriad of proprietary raw file formats out there (and growing).īesides, even if Microsoft doesn't, the camera maker should. This duty falls on the camera company, a quick google yields results for codecs from the major brands, if your brand doesn't then maybe consider bashing them and not the operating system. Why should Microsoft provide the codec for viewing the RAW files? For quick viewing and even simple conversions, nothing beats FastStone Image Viewer. I haven't the time to do that, nor do I want to use up space on my HD for it. However I for one am not going to convert every image into another format simply for viewing purposes. Safe to say there are very few if any that do NOT know what DNG is. DNG is an acronym for "Digital Negative." Read more here:
And, there is an advantage to converting your raw files to DNG. And so, if you convert your raw files to DNG when importing them into Lightroom or use the Adobe DNG converter to convert your proprietary raw files to DNG, you WILL be able to get a glimpse of your unprocessed digital image in File Explorer, even if it is of minimal use. BUT, File Explorer DOES recognize DNG files. Microsoft is not going to provide thumbnails for the myriad of proprietary raw file formats out there (and growing). I started this thread because I could not find the one that went on and on about not being able to see thumbnails of raw files in Windows File Explorer.
