Technically Speaking

Microsoft has created a thumbnailer/viewer for RAW images on your computer. It is a PowerToy application that makes it possible to view, organize, and print your RAW files within Windows XP.

This software offers the following benefits to digital photographers:

• High image quality. This software uses the camera vendors’ own processing libraries to provide the highest possible image fidelity for RAW images.
• Superior color fidelity. Windows Image Color Management (ICM) is used to render images in the correct color space as determined by the photographer when the image was captured.
• Familiar user experience. This software builds on the familiar Windows user experience and requires little or no learning curve.
• Performance tuned for rapid previews. The software uses background processing and other techniques to ensure a good preview experience even for large images.
