See full list below. (*) Due to technical limitations currently imposed by Microsoft for their WinRT platform, the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack decoders are not exposed to 'Metro' aka 'Modern' aka 'Windows Store' applications at this time, as they elected to block non-Microsoft codecs for those apps.

Why the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack? • Superior performance, rock-solid stability The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack far outperforms competing codecs, starting from existing manufacturer codecs or codecs supplied by Adobe or Microsoft, making near-instant large size previewing a reality for most popular raw formats, with rock-solid stability. In fact, the Microsoft team behind the Image Composite Editor panorama stitcher lists the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack as ' tested and recommended'.

The Codec Pack is in use in the largest game studios in the world, including and. • Broadest compatibility The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack is second to none regarding Windows compatibility, from XP SP3 to Vista to Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, including 64 bit editions, as well as for timely camera model support (more than 580 digital camera models including the latest and greatest from 15 top manufacturers, updated several times a year). • Extensive formats support The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack goes beyond raw formats by supporting Adobe Photoshop® PSD and Adobe Lightroom® previews, as well as a wide selection of image formats popular amongst graphic artists and in the Computer Graphics industry, plus some unique specialties like 2D previewing of images taken with 3D cameras e.g. Fuji FinePix Real 3D W1/W3 (MPO), or JPEG-Stereo (JPS) images. • Best feature set The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack includes a faster JPEG codec that performs automatic rotation of thumbnails and previews in Windows Explorer, according to EXIF information. We make Windows 'EXIF orientation-aware'.

User quotes: “JUST BRILLIANT - you have completely transformed Windows 7 for me” – Paul Lawrence, United Kingdom (via email) “I got the Fast Picture Viewer Codec Pack 3.0 and IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!!!!” – Katia Grondin, obviousidea.com forum user Some of our most distinguished corporate customers includes. Beware of imitations: the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack delivers true Windows-compliant image decoders that enable the full RAW viewing experience in Windows Vista and Windows 7, including extra-large thumbnails and fast, large size previewing and slideshows, as well as EXIF metadata display in Windows Explorer and full integration with Windows Search, which let users locate RAW files by author, tags, camera model, date taken etc., instantly, from any Explorer 'search' box in Windows Vista or Windows 7. Last but not least, our product enable raw support in Windows Media Center 6.1 (the version that ships with Windows 7), including support for Media Center Extenders (stream slideshows to TV w/Xbox 360). Check out our short video demonstrating the easy installation procedure and benefits of the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP (all editions are supported, 32-bit and 64-bit). How is this possible? How does it work? Some background information: Windows Vista introduced a brand new and extensible imaging framework called Windows Imaging Component (WIC), enabling far better imaging support at the operating system level than what was available during the Windows XP era.

The new operating system came with built-in support for most standard image formats including JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF and HD Photo in both Windows Explorer and in the newly introduced Windows Photo Gallery, a built-in application replacing the venerable Windows XP Picture and Fax Viewer (together with the outdated Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer and Viewer add-in) with a much improved, modern and slick photo organizer. Windows Imaging Component made it possible for 3rd parties to add first-class support for additional image formats to the operating system through plugin components known as 'codecs', providing thumbnail views in Explorer, as well as previews and slideshows in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer and, on Window 7, also within Windows Media Center 7 and Media Player 12, as well as integration with the built-in desktop search engine.

WIC-compliant codecs also enable a number of applications to directly open new file formats, such as for example Microsoft ICE, Sony Creative Software's Vegas Professional or The Panorama Factory, just to name a few. We at FastPictureViewer even created an optional (and experimental) Photoshop Import Plug-in which let older versions of Photoshop (CS, CS2, CS3.) import newer raw files through our codecs (currently with some restrictions), provided that the plug-in is installed as well.

The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack provides what Microsoft calls 'platform support' for many additional image formats, beyond what's supported by the Windows Operating System out-of-the-box, including most popular 'camera raw' image formats, covering the latest digital cameras on the market. The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack effectively turns Windows 7 and Windows Vista's Explorers into raw image viewers. The Codec Pack also works on Windows XP SP3 with some limitations: thumbnail views are enabled in Windows XP Explorer but separate applications, such as our own FastPictureViewer Professional or Microsoft's Window Live ™ Photo Gallery, are required to open files for previewing and full-size viewing on Windows XP. On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack goes far beyond providing simple thumbnail functionality by enabling large size viewing in Windows Photo Viewer, Photo Gallery and Windows Media Center 7 and Media Player 12, as well as providing metadata integration with Windows Search (so you can find your images instantly from any Explorer search box!). The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack also enable automatic rotation of JPEG images in the aforementioned applications. The FastPictureViewer Codec Pack contains 28 different image decoders, or 'codecs', at last count, each in 32-bit and 64-bit flavor, supporting 48 image file extensions such as PSD, DNG, CR2, NEF, PEF, RAF, ORF, SR2, SRW and more, including specialists image formats such as OpenEXR, Radiance HDR, TGA, PNM, DDS and JPEG2000. For example our CR2 codec and NEF codec supports the latest top cameras from Canon and Nikon, respectively, and ships as part our codec pack in both 32-bit and 64-bit form, enabling the broadest compatibility with both the latest cameras and the latest operating system editions.

Some of our codecs also take advantage of the latest processor technology, providing previously unheard of raw previewing speed, rivaling (and sometimes exceeding) the usually fast display speed experienced when using the standard JPEG format. Windows Vista and Windows 7 users also get automatic rotation of JPEG images, provided that orientation data was written in the images by the camera. Images containing the EXIF orientation data will be presented in the correct orientation automatically in Windows Explorer. This feature works with thumbnails and previews in Explorer and for large-size viewing in Photo Viewer, Photo Gallery, the Slideshow sidebar gadget and in Windows Media Center 7. Photographers shooting in portrait orientation will instantly appreciate this feature! Digital cameras owners venturing into 'raw shooting' to get the most of their equipment will find the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack a must have essential tool, as it makes raw file handling in Windows Explorer as simple and easy as it is with the JPEG format: quick identification of images straight in Windows Explorer (and standard 'Open File' dialogs in most Windows applications), as well as instant search and previews means faster workflow, and since time is money this product fully pays for itself within minutes of use! In addition to Windows Explorer, a growing number of codec-enabled applications such as our own image viewer, Windows Live ™ Photo Gallery from Microsoft, Vegas Professional from Sony Creative Software, among others, 'automagically' gain the ability to open new image formats once our decoders are installed.

See our FAQ to learn standalone photographer-oriented image viewer. When possible, the full metadata is exposed by the codecs so Windows Search can pick up and index your files, gathering information about date taken, camera model, tags etc, enabling Windows' built-in search to locate your pictures from metadata! Once the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack is installed on your computer, do not miss the.

This release also fixes small issues reported by customers. Sun Jul 01, 2012: Version 3.3.0.64 discontinues support for JPEG auto-rotation inside Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery, due to a number of issues encountered when enabling this feature inside this specific application. Raw and raster formats support provided to Windows Photo Gallery by the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack is unaffected by this change and, as a side note, the JPEG Auto-Rotation feature of the FPV Codec Pack is entirely optional and can be opted-out during setup without affecting any of the remaining functionality. Sun Jul 01, 2012: Version 3.3.0.65 is a raw compatibility update, adding support for three new cameras: Canon EOS 650D, Samsung NX20 and NX210, and Sigma SD1 digital cameras.

Mon Mar 04, 2013: Today we officially retired the Canon CHDK codec, a special codec that was handling raw files from some Canon pocket camera models owned by enthusiasts who hacked their camera's firmware to dump the raw sensor data and simulate a raw shooting mode that is normally not present on these models. While functioning as expected, due to the nature of those special raw files, this codec was likely to cause interferences with some applications and as such we did not install it by default. Users having this codec installed reported a number of issues in other applications lately, as well as incompatibilities with some recent Microsoft updates, so we took the decision to retire this component from the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack effective immediately. Raw files created from the following Canon PowerShot camera models, modified by their owners using the CHDK hacked firmware, are no longer supported: Canon PowerShot A460, A470, A530, A570, A590, A610, A620, A630, A640, A650, A710 IS, A720 IS, G7, S2 IS, S3 IS, S5 IS, SD300, SX20 IS, SX30 IS, SX110 IS, SX120 IS and SX220 HS. Support for JPEG files created by those models, as well as raw support for all other Canon models we handle is unaffected by this change. More information about the Canon CHDK hacked firmware can be found at Tue Jun 11, 2013: Version 3.5.0.78 is a recommended raw compatibility update and application compatibility update.

Thu Aug 01, 2013: Version 3.5.0.82 is a bug fix release which solves an issue where some TIFF files created by Nikon Capture NX software (NEF files converted to TIFF) were misidentified. Sat Aug 24, 2013: Version 3.5.0.83 fixes an issue in our PSD codec, which now supports a couple more format variants that were previously ignored. This release also fixes an issue with some TIFF files created by onOne software, which were sometimes misidentified as raw files.
