I want to point out (if you're not aware) that pretty much all of the viewers simply pull out the *embedded* jpeg that lives inside the raw file. So, if you really want to see the raw image, you need to go the extra step ala fastrawviewer. Also note that the licensing is OS independent so 1 $15 purchase covers your Mac and PC. ========================== The purchased License is OS-independent, and can be used to have FastRawViewer activated on up to two computers simultaneously, as long as each computer is owned by you and you are the only one with access to FastRawViewer You may transfer the license from one computer to another, provided the terms of ownership are followed, by de-activating FastRawViewer on one of the computers that have it active and activating it on another one. Cheers Howard. You don't really need one. You can just select an image file and press the space bar to see it, or double-click it to open with Preview. If you want something more than that, you'll need to say what specific features you're looking for. Support RAW Formats. Besides the JPG, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP and other photos format, WidsMob Viewer also supports most of the popular RAW formats. It is able to load RAW files from SD card or external drive. It also enables you to turn RAW files into JPG, PNG and other photo formats. Different previewing mode. That's a tick for it. Regarding using Finder, it doesn't seem possible to view the file at 1:1 (assuming the embedded jpg is big enough). I really need that ability so as to check if things are in focus. I found a free program called xnViewMP which I guess does the job. As far as I can tell it doesn't treat the jpg and raw as one, though, so I can't delete both with one action. It's also a bit of a messy interface, although it's possible that as I dig into the preferences it might be possible to customise it a bit. ![]() ![]() You read all that you could on the internet about why you should be shooting in RAW only to find out that you can't see your images on your computer when you import them to your hard drive. There is nothing more frustrating than to be following advice and have it not work!! Because RAW images come in a special format of their own, you will need to download what is called a codec (software that tells the computer how to read the data it is given). The codec is only good for allowing you to see the images in preview thumbnails and open them in an image viewer. If you plan on editing your RAW files, you will need software to help you out with that. But first, make sure your computer is up to date with the latest software and codecs needed to work with RAW images.
