RAW Format support - New File Format Options

[isaacl]

Is there any chance of getting RAW support in the near future?
This is usually the lossless picture format used in digital cameras, or at least the "Professional" ones.

If PMView is gonna be "Pro", shouldn't it support RAW as well? :-)

I think it might have to be different for each model (not sure), but there are only a handful of major digi-cam manufacturers with RAW. (Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Kodak?)
Heck, I'd be willing to pay a little extra for a plugin that does this.

As I understand most RAW image format is easy for programmer, but not necessarily for user.

I also would like support for the raw format. All of the better new digital cameras use it, and it will eventually become increasingly ubiqitous. There already are some open source programs that from what I hear do a good job of handling it. The source code for one that places no restrictions on use is available at

The author says: "There are no restrictions on this code, although I would like to receive credit for it. Donations are welcome, especially if you're using my code commercially."

It would be a most welcome addition to PMView capabilities.
