Professional Sp3 Full
Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft has introduced an all-new, extensible imaging framework called Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to be used throughout the system, including by Windows Explorer and the built-in Windows Photo Gallery / Photo Viewer. The framework is entirely documented, which makes it possible for 3rd party software vendors to take full advantage of its features.
The WIC framework, also part of Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7, ships with a number of image decoders, called "codecs", to support common image formats such as JPG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, BMP, etc. What is sorely lacking is support for the diverse raw image formats produced by digital cameras.
Microsoft idea was presumably to let camera manufacturer write the codecs Windows needs to support their formats. Excellent idea, in theory, as manufacturers are best placed to process their own proprietary and often secret files.
In practice, however, only a handful of camera manufacturers actually developed the necessary decoders and the few who did completely ignored the 64-bit world, leaving their users without any support commitment where they need it most.
Mac users, on the other hand, enjoy raw formats support built straight into the operating system. This approach has its disadvantages tough, for example support for new cameras is tied to operating system release cycles, which are typically quite long, and so a particular new model might stay unsupported for months. On the other hand, built-in support - even slightly out of date - is way better than no support at all and with the advent of the 64-bit enabled OSX Snow Leopard the Mac platform once again has serious advantages for photographers, offering both raw support and 64-bit abilities, which are obvious benefits for digital photography applications.
Something that Microsoft maybe did not anticipate is how difficult it is to write proper codecs. 64-bit WIC codecs currently exists for formats such as TGA and DjVU, but 3rd party codec writers can easily be counted on one's fingers, one of them supplying commercial decoders for Adobe DNG, Canon CR2 and Nikon NEF, a far cry from the dozens raw image formats in use today.
In an attempt to help the photographer's community, a small team based in Switzerland has produced a free codec pack, dubbed the FastPictureViewer WIC Codec Pack, which brings raw format support to Microsoft Windows for more than 12 camera brands, covering about 300 camera models. The WIC codec pack provides thumbnail and previewing support to Windows Explorer and all WIC-enabled application, in both 32 and 64-bit flavors.
Platforms supported: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP SP3 (32-bit and 64-bit) Download: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
