Hi all
Great stuff -- BUT we've actually had Photo RAW support since XP days !! http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=8802
Note also that it's not always easy for MS to supply this stuff -- since new cameras appear very frequently.
I still think that if you ARE a user of any camera RAW format you would probably be better off in using either Photoshop CS4 / CS5 or photoshop elements.
Note that Photoshop Bridge supplies a decent photo RAW viewing browser too.
Cheers

Just as long as it doesn't slow anything else in windows down 
Jimbo I remember trying that in XP but it was very slow and it wouldn't finish loading all the thumbnails in a directory - it would just stop no matter what the cajoling - so I finally gave up on it. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
