Description
ArcSoft RAW Thumbnail Viewer is a handy utility that allows you to browse your RAW
files. It displays thumbnail versions instead of the generic icons normally displayed by
Windows Explorer. The developer lists support for RAW files from the following camera
manufacturers: Canon, Hasselblad, Kodak, Leica, Mamiya, Nikon, Olympus,
Pentax, Ricoh, Samsung, Sigma, and Sony, together with Adobe (DNG) format.
Comments
If you have a reasonably sophisticated image editor or processor, you may not need
ArcSoft RAW Thumbnail Viewer. But it is a genuinely useful product that adds functionality
to Windows. Although the developer does not list Fuji RAF files, it does in
fact display them as well.

Chapter 2 ■ Image Viewers 11
Vendor: Canon
Purpose: You can download images from your camera, organize and edit them, and then email
or print them
Description
For the PC (there is another product called ImageBrowser for Mac), ZoomBrowser lets
you download images from your camera, sort them, adjust the color and white balances,
and then email or print them. You can select which images you want to download, including
RAW files from any Canon camera. In the viewing area, zoom, scroll, and preview
modes let you examine the images in different ways, many at a time, greatly enlarged, or
complete with metadata. You can compare images side by side or view them in slide shows.
Organizing functions let you rename the images or assign them star ratings. You can
search the pictures by shooting date, modification date, by the comment attached to
the image, or by the star rating.
Editing includes automatic red-eye correction, color and brightness adjustment, and
some basic movie-editing features. ZoomBrowser comes with PhotoRecord printing
software that supports borderless printing, index printing, and photo albums with
comments.
