View and Edit Raw Images In Photo Gallery

July 27, 2011, filed in: Tools

Microsoft Camera Codec Pack allows you views and edit Raw images on windows 7 and Windows vista. Raw images are uncompressed images taken from digital camera’s. Raw images a several advantages over compressed image like higher image quality, finer control, and more image information. We can say Raw images are negatives of your digital images.

After installing Microsoft Camera Codec Pack , you will be able to view and edit raw images on Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Photo Gallery makes a copy of the raw original and converts it to either JPEG or the far superior JPEG-XR (or HD Photo) format. With JPEG-XR, all of the quality of the raw original is there so you can fine-tune different editing effects. You can fix red-eye, remove blemishes, or make detailed image adjustments with confidence knowing your original raw file is safe. When you use your raw files to construct an amazing panoramic stitch or Photo Fuse, a new file is generated and you get an even higher quality result than before.

With the new codec pack, Windows will now support viewing and editing a wide range of photo file formats including raw, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and more.
