Windows 10: I am no longer able to download both RAW and jpeg files of the same photo from my camera...

I often take photos with both RAW and jpeg formats of the picture saved on the camera. Prior to the latest update, Photos would recognize and download both the RAW and jpeg files to my computer. With the latest update of Photos, the program no longer recognizes that the jpeg file exists if there is also a RAW file of the same photo and therefore will not download the jpeg from the camera to my computer. If only a jpeg file is saved, Photos still recognizes and downloads the file. Tried going back to Legacy Photos and it does no longer detects any photos on my camera. Camera is Canon 77D. A

How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?

OK I got this fully working.

To view only .jpg files in folder containing jpg and camera raw

1. In File Explorer, navigate to folder containing photos that you wish to view.
2. In File Explorer, type *.jpg in the search box. You will then see all your jpeg's with the camera raw files absent.
3. Click on any file in the search results, to start Photo Viewer.

To view only camera raw (.cr2) files in a folder containing jpg and camera raw

1. In File Explorer, navigate to folder containing photos that you wish to view.
2. In File Explorer, type *.cr2 in the search box. You will then see all your camera raw files with the jpeg files absent.
3. Click on any file in the search results, to start Photo Viewer.

It really is that simple. No registry edits needed. *chuckle

Raw Image Extension

Thanks for your interest in the Raw Image Extension. You can acquire the extension to install on your devices but Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version number 1903) is required to install the extension. The Raw Image Extension adds native viewing support for
images captured in raw file formats produced by many mid- to high-end digital cameras. By installing the package, you will be able to view thumbnails and metadata of supported raw file formats right in Windows File Explorer or view images in the Photos app.
The current version of the extension supports a long list of cameras, however some Raw formats like .CR3 and .GPR are not currently supported. This package is made possible thanks to libraw open source project (About LibRaw | LibRaw). Check out LibRaw 0.21 supported cameras | LibRaw
for a list of supported cameras. Libraw library is licensed under COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE Version 1.0 (CDDL-1.0) PLEASE NOTE – the Raw codec delivered by this extension requires changes to Windows to run. Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version
number 1903) or later is required. If you can’t install the extension, your device is running a version of Windows that does not meet the minimum Windows build number required to run the extension. Please consider upgrading your device to the latest version
of Windows to install the extension. PLEASE NOTE – the extension is NOT an app – you can’t interact directly with it. It installs an OS codec plugin used by Windows apps including File Explorer and Photos to decode raw images. Please use File Explorer to view
thumbnails or Photos app to view your raw images from supported cameras after installing the extension.

 

WIndows 10 Photo Viewer RAW Camera Files

I recently bought a new Sony Mirrorless Camera that has .ARW RAW photo files. Windows 10 Photo viewer says "It looks like we don't support this file format" when I try to open them.

The strange thing is before I bought this new camera, I used a different Sony Mirrorless Camera that had the same .ARW photo files and it worked just fine.

More details:

Old camera: Sony a6000 (RAW files opened in photo viewer)

New Camera: Sony A7ii (RAW files won't open in photo viewer)

Thanks!
