Microsoft Camera Raw codes available for Windows 7

In my experience, many developers are also keen on photography, partly because there's a lot of high-tech as well as the visuals of the art. If happen to own especially a digital SLR, chances are most of your images will be in various raw image formats, depending on your camera make and model.

Personally, I'm using Adobe Lightroom to manage my pictures (both raw and JPEG), but sometimes I'd just like to quickly view an image to see if I found the correct one, without opening Lightroom. By default, Windows 7 doesn't understand for example Canon's .CR2 raw file format, but with the new Camera Codec Pack for Windows 7, it can.

This package was launched in late July, so it's pretty new. You can download your copy here. Both 32 and 64 bit systems are supported.
