Olympus RAW pictures

I have a problem. I have a lot of pictures taking with my Olympus digital camera in RAW format. More specific *.orf, and I can see these files in Windows Explorer and other file management software I have tested before decided for XYplorer.

But for some reason I can't preview these image files with XYplorer the same way, I can with *.jpg and other image files.

Anyone know why or maybe how I can fix this?

Hi and welcome,

Could you list your Windows version including whether it's 32- or 64-bit? If you have a 64-bit Windows version, it could be that only a 64-bit version of your RAW codec was installed (Windows Explorer is a 64-bit app, while XYplorer is 32-bit). If your camera or third-party codec is also available in a 32-bit version, I'd try that. Alternatively, installing the 32-bit version of this recent camera codec pack from Microsoft might help.

Finally, even if you have a 32-bit Windows version, you could try the above-mentioned Microsoft camera codec pack.

P.S. This is your second post about the same problem in two days. This board *is* more or less in lazy summer mode with the developer away, but it's generally not recommended or necessary to post the same more than once.

Relax nas8e9, it was me who suggested that OP removed this question from FAQs and Polls and post in this forum section, hence you seeing double :)
