Windows 10: Raw image development with Windows Photos application?

Hi everybody,I am using Window 10 Professional - Version 22H2 I see that it is possible to view or open ? a Raw image using the Windows Photos application. Is it the Jpeg image incorporated into the Raw or really an interpretation of the Raw data by the application? In other words, is it possible to develope a Raw image in a basic way, with Windows Photo application export in Jpeg?Thanks.Piblo

RAW Photos in Photos App

Hi Apeman_3663, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.

Unfortunately, the option to disable the auto-enhance in Photos was removed. I understand the sentiments as this has been a problem even in Windows 10 and there is still an active thread on this.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

A workaround suggested by other users in the thread was to restore the old Windows Photo Viewer and set it as your default for raw images.

See if the method suggested here from another Windows 11 forum thread could still work to restore it

I would suggest though to create a restore point first using System Restore to backup your registry.

If Windows Photo Viewer doesn't work and didn't remove any enhancements on your images, another way is to use a third-party app viewer as other users did in the thread. Here's where you can check some

I would also like to suggest sending feedback using the Feedback Hub app by pressing Windows key + F as this is a way to get in touch with the developers.

I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.

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.
