Open Cr2 File How To Do So

Yay Youd think that once youve downloaded and installed Microsofts Camera Codec Pack youd immediately start to see those lovely image thumbnails.

Open Cr2 File How To Do So

You dont. Boo Though its easy to get the thumbnails to render, its not obvious how to do so.

Unfortunately, some of the most recent popular models are missing, such as the Nikon D3100 and D5100, Canon EOS 60D, all of the Olympus PEN series, and the most recent generation of Panasonic G series.

In order to do that, you have to open at least one of the photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery.

To do that, right-click on one of the images and select Preview within the Preview display, choose the Edit, organize, or share menu option.

Its a pretty inelegant way to handle the files and its disappointing how many current cameras are missing.

Plus, I doubt Microsoft is going to be updating the codec pack as frequently as is necessary to keep up with the rapid release cycle of new enthusiast cameras, each which comes with a new version of the format.
