Raw File1.0

Developed as a plugin for the Paint.NET graphics editing application, Raw File extends functionality when it comes to format support, allowing users to import files with the ARW, CF2, CR2, CRW, DNG, ERF, MEF, MRW, NEF, ORF, PEF, RAF, RAW, SR2 and X3F types.At the moment, Paint.NET does not have built-in support for the aforementioned file extensions, and that's where this plugin comes in. It is extremely easy to set up, as there is not setup pack involved, but only a lightweight DLL file.All you have to do is copy the item to the "FileTypes" directory found in Paint.NET's installed program files, and simply run the application. No additional actions need to be taken.From this point on, the new file types are displayed in the file browser when looking for images. It is important to mention they are automatically included in the "All image types" profile. Evidently, RAW-formatted pictures may also be imported using the drag-and-drop support. If you want to uninstall Raw File at any time, it is suffice to delete its corresponding DLL file.Since there is no setup operation involved, you can save Raw File to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit for safekeeping, as well as store it on an online email account to gain fast access from any location in the word. You may be interested in adding it to a collection of plugins dedicated to Paint.NET, for instance.Unfortunately, we have encountered some issues throughout our evaluation. Raw File failed in its attempt to open a CR2 and NEF file, and popped up an unspecified error. By taking into account that the plugin has not been updated for a while, tests were redone on older Paint.NET editions, but the tasks were unsuccessful once again.
