“The-Digital-Pictures”:http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-News/ is a great Canon site, but also has two great tips for XP users, first is to download the “Microsoft Photo Info”:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/photoinfo.mspx which allows EXIF information editing and second is “Microsoft RAW Image Thumbnailer”:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d48e808e-b10d-4ce4-a141-5866fd4a3286&DisplayLang=en that lets you see RAW images from Canon and Nikon. powered by performancing firefox
