    Microsoft Photos doesn't show DNG and PSD files

    "MS Photos" App doesn't shows DNG and PSD files. How can I fix it?

    I installed a PSD CODEC and an a Adobe DNG Codec. After that, I can see imagens in formats JPG, TIF, CR2, DNG and PSD using "Windows Explorer" or "Windows Photo Viewer". Unfortunately, using "MS Photos" I can't see the DNG and PSD photo imagens.

    Viewing DNG Files in Windows Photo VIewer w/ Windows 10

    Ok first, I would like to use windows photo viewer. I just bought a new dell computer and discovered (like many others) that windows photo viewer had issues. I have scoured the internet with no final solution. I did get windows photo viewer on the new
    computer and can view almost any format of photo, other than DNG. Now here is the weird part. If I put one of the files that you can set the default to windows photo viewer in the folder with DNGs I can thumb through the DNGs. Without a JPEG or TIFF (for
    example) photo viewer is not an option. SO while I have a work around I feel like I am so close. Maybe its stubbornness but I would like to open a DNG through default with windows photo viewer. Its just super weird that if I put a JPEG in the folder with
    DNGs I am able to view all the DNGs.

    I have tried to set defaults through right clicking the photo as well as under the control panel and there is no visible way for me to select windows photo viewer.

    Any suggestions?

    DNG Files in Windows Photo Viewer

    You might want to read this (older) article that goes up through Windows 7, and hope it applies to 8 and 10 as well: How to view DNG thumbnails in Windows. On the other hand, you might want to grab a DNG capable codec instead. Here's one from Adobe that may do just want you want it to in Windows Photo Viewer: Adobe DNG Codec.

    HTH,
