NEF Windows Thumbnail Preview

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

I just purchased this handy little tool for $9 on the interwebs. It allows you to view thumbnails of your NEF files (RAW Nikon) in your Windows Explorer screen in thumbnail preview, just like you can with JPEG files.

I'm finding this valuable in cleaning out some old RAW files from my external drive to make room. How many unusable shots of the moon and soccer games could one girl possibly need?

It's working for me, and for $9 for the forever license, it's worth it. I run Windows 7 64bit, and they have a version for Windows 98 up to my version.

Just thought I'd share!

SUPERB! :D One reason I don't like to shoot in raw is the hassle to preview it on my computer... I'll check this one out. :) Thanks.

Hmmmm, one of my built-in viewers does this for my canon raw files. When next at the computer, I shall have to see if is MS or HP

I'm using View NX and I'm fine with it, but it's good to know, thanks! Could be useful on another computer.

Thanks for sharing. I hate how the NEF doesn't have a preview.

@chriswang I think there's a windows free download you can get to view NEF previews too. Can't remember what it's called though.

I have spent the past several hours clearing out my system! My laptop is going to be so so happy!!!! Thanks @sdpace
