Preview Raw Images

Postby timerrin » Fri May 18, 2012 6:36 pm

If possible, I'd like to be able to preview raw images before opening them into SPE. Currently I either have to know the file name or find the picture in PS elements. It would be great to click on the file and have a small preview of that photo.

cheers

On windows you can enable seeing raw images not just in SPE, but in any software, by installing a codec for your camera. Just google for the name of your raw extension plus 'codec' and you should be able to find a page by your camera manufacturer with a download to install the codec. For instance, I googled "nef codec" and was brought to this page: http://nikonimglib.com/nefcodec/. After installing the software, I could see a nef file in the open dialog in SPE.

Cheers,

Tony
