Does anyone know if MS Digital Image Suite or Pro will read Nikon raw files
(.nef) and allow manipulation of them without changing them to another
format? Thanks in advance.

==================================
Here's some info direct from the Picture It! Team:
===================================
The RAW file format is part of a larger issue
that we are working on. Every camera manufacturer
has their own RAW format, and each camera
within a certain manufacturer's product line may
have different ways of writing the RAW data.
Unfortunately, Digital Image Suite 10 does not
support RAW data. We are looking into it
moving forward.
===================================

Maybe the following info will be useful to you:

Digital Image can open and save pictures
in any of the following formats:

..emf, .gif, .jpg, .pcx, .png, .png+, .tga,
..tif, .bmp.

Digital Image can open pictures saved in
any of the following formats:

..psd, .dxf, .cdr, .fpx, .php, .pcd, .pct, .drw,
..mix, .wmf.

John:

Thank you for the info. I have been using Digital Image Suite 9 since came
out. I am very fond of it's ease of use & the quality of the results. I was
excited to see the new version 10 recently. What is the status of DI Suite
10 or possibly 11 handling the Nikon RAW, *.nef format? I see the issue of
the all the different RAW formats & how it can be a problem. I like Ray use
a Nikon digital camera. I have Photoshop 7 but prefer Digital Image Suite.
I am going to start learning PS but would be really pleased if Microsoft
would incorporate the major RAW formats from Nikon & Canon, etc. Might there
be a patch coming out for the different RAW formats or am I going to have to
use PS7? I look forward to it.

Thank you very much,

Matt Allen

I'm sorry Matt, but the info in my previous
message is all I have at this time on the
RAW format issue. Version 10 has some
useful new features but is not compatible
with the .RAW format and I'm not aware
of the future availability of a patch.


New Features In MS Digital Image 10.

Several new keyboard short cuts for
often used tools.

Improved Filters...especially the Sepia
filter. In earlier versions it seemed washed
out to me but now it looks great.

A tool that makes Panoramas called
Panoramic Stitching.

Auto color correction.

Auto exposure fix.

Adjustable Noise Filters.

Auto fit on a blank canvas. This makes it
much easier to save a cutout.

A new feature of the Advanced Selection
tools is a Selection Mask, also there is a
new Selection Brush. The combination of
these new features make it much easier
to define a selection.

Tools that have a brush now have sliders
to adjust brush size.

When printing multiples you can choose
to include date stamps. There's also an
assortment of Album Collage Templates.
They combine 7 to 20 assorted size images
on a single page.

You have an option to change Color
Management Settings. These settings let
you select a color profile for viewing or
printing.

Mini Lab has a single image view option.
and also a batch resize option.

At...Tools / Options...you can set your JPEG
quality level so you don't have to do it every
time you save.

There's more but this is all I can think of right now.
