The image on the far right is from my Rebel XT while the other three images are from the T6i. This is how the thumbnails appear in Windows Explorer. It’s just Microsoft being too cheap to pay for their own RAW parser, like (for example) Apple does. I got a T6i last week and Ive found that when viewing the CR2 files in Windows Explorer I dont get thumbnail previews nor EXIF data as my Rebel XTs CR2 files have. That would be an understandable sacrifice if Windows 10 itself was open source, but it’s not. (Their closed-source FastRAWViewer does have preliminary CR3 support, so I assume libraw will gain the support eventually.) Microsoft’s RAW support will therefore remain incomplete indefinitely. Windows 10 users can click the Cortana taskbar button to open the search tool, or press the Win key + S hotkey. Thus, updating Windows Photo Viewer might fix the problem. It doesn’t reflect well on Microsoft that it took them until 2019 to try to address RAW files, and when they finally did, they decided to be lazy and rely on libraw’s clean-room reverse engineering efforts, instead of signing NDAs with the camera makers and implementing the actual written specs.Īs much as I admire the efforts of the libraw authors and the determination to keep things open source, their support sometimes lag the latest state of art by quite a bit-for example, the published version of libraw as of today still does not support Canon CR3, which is used in EOS M50, R and RP. Update Windows Photo Viewer Software updates can fix bugs and other issues.
