Hello, I seem to have a problem opening a Raw photo on windows 10 from my camera. I have tried to download windows Raw Image Extension. but it refuses to install to my pc. I have to send photos to someone through email. Is there any other way to open these and send them through an email?

What model of camera?

 

out of the box, Win 10 can display thumbnails of certain raw formats but not all the latest models are added. There is no built in editor so to do any work you need to install one of the aforementioned tools or the one supplied by your cameras manufacturer

Windows 10 pro can open Nikon .NEF files... But other than that, I can't be of any help. :P

Thanks guys for the help, I found a software from canon that I can use to edit raw CR2 files.

Canon has free software for working with their .cr2 files. Just download it from their site. Other options are the free irfanview. It is lightweight and does batch resize quickly so is also a good option.
